Postmatch editorial

Suriname found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was El Salvador 1-2 Suriname. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The decisive turn arrived late when Dhoraso Klas scored 81' for Suriname.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Suriname led Shots on target 2-4. El Salvador also shaded Corners 7-4.

Before kickoff, our model made El Salvador the likeliest result at 39.0%, while the median bookmaker line priced El Salvador at 44.8% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (53.3%), and that angle missed.
