Beşiktaş upset the pre-match prices
The final score was FC Midtjylland 0-2 Beşiktaş. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Orkun Kökçü scored 76' for Beşiktaş.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Midtjylland led Corners 5-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Midtjylland also shaded Possession 55%-45%.
