The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Dundee United 0-2 Dundee. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dundee United led Possession 68%-32%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dundee United also shaded Total shots 25-14.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dundee United the favourite at 50.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
