Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was FC Köln 1-3 FC Heidenheim. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Jan Schöppner put the first mark on the match 8', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Köln led Possession 66%-34%, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Köln also shaded Total shots 18-11.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC Köln the favourite at 48.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
