Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was FC Cajamarca 1-1 Alianza Lima. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

J. Betancourt put the first mark on the match 11', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Alianza Lima led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Cajamarca also shaded Corners 2-1.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Alianza Lima the favourite at 48.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
