Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Famalicão 2-2 Benfica. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Umar Abubakar 78', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Famalicão led Shots on target 5-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Famalicão also shaded Total shots 15-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Benfica the favourite at 62.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
