Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Dundee United 1-1 Falkirk. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Michael Forbes 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dundee United led Shots on target 9-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dundee United also shaded Total shots 27-12.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dundee United the favourite at 48.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
