Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Flora 2-2 Anorthosis. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Dimitrios Christofi put the first mark on the match 28', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Flora led Corners 9-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Flora also shaded Shots on target 11-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Flora the favourite at 45.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
