Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was FC Köln 3-3 Borussia Mönchengladbach. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Eric Martel 84', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Köln led Shots on target 5-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Köln also shaded Corners 5-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC Köln the favourite at 43.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
