Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Exeter City 0-0 Leyton Orient. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Exeter City nor Leyton Orient found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Leyton Orient led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Exeter City also shaded Corners 6-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Exeter City the favourite at 41.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
