Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Extremadura UD 2-0 Sporting Gijón. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Kike Carrasco put the first mark on the match 33', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sporting Gijón led Shots on target 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sporting Gijón also shaded Corners 1-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sporting Gijón the favourite at 48.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
