Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 FC Köln. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Alessio Castro-Montes 83', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Eintracht Frankfurt led Corners 8-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Eintracht Frankfurt also shaded Possession 67%-33%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Eintracht Frankfurt the favourite at 52.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
