Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Estrela Amadora 2-2 Sporting CP. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from B. Souza 84', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sporting CP led Shots on target 3-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sporting CP also shaded Total shots 8-15.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sporting CP the favourite at 75.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
