Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was FC Union Berlin 2-2 FC Köln. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Livan Burcu 89', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Köln led Corners 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Union Berlin also shaded Total shots 13-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC Köln the favourite at 38.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
