The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was FC Twente 0-1 Qarabağ. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Kady Borges put the first mark on the match 52', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Twente led Total shots 21-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Twente also shaded Possession 61%-39%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC Twente the favourite at 69.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
