Postmatch editorial

Escobedo upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Escobedo 2-0 Málaga. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Dalisson de Almeida scored 84' for Escobedo.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Escobedo led Shots on target 6-0. Málaga also shaded Possession 33%-67%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Málaga the favourite at 80.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
