Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Estudiantes 0-0 Newell's Old Boys. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Estudiantes nor Newell's Old Boys found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Estudiantes led Shots on target 8-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Estudiantes also shaded Corners 6-0.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Estudiantes the favourite at 62.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
