Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Flamengo 1-1 São Paulo. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Jonathan Calleri 70', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Flamengo led Shots on target 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Flamengo also shaded Total shots 18-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Flamengo the favourite at 68.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
