Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Floriana 1-1 KF Ballkani. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Dunstan Vella put the first mark on the match 38', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Floriana led Shots on target 5-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Floriana also shaded Corners 8-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made KF Ballkani the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
