Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Dundalk 2-2 Levadia. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Bogdan Vastsuk put the first mark on the match 1', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dundalk led Corners 12-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dundalk also shaded Possession 53%-47%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dundalk the favourite at 48.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
