Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Fenerbahçe 1-1 Olympique Lyonnais. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Loïs Openda put the first mark on the match 40', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Fenerbahçe led Corners 3-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Fenerbahçe also shaded Possession 52%-48%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Fenerbahçe the favourite at 48.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
