Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Erzgebirge Aue 2-2 Hansa Rostock. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Lukas Fröde put the first mark on the match 8', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Hansa Rostock led Corners 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Erzgebirge Aue also shaded Shots on target 5-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hansa Rostock the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
