Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Fluminense 1-1 Bragantino. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Ignácio 90+14', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Fluminense led Total shots 24-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Fluminense also shaded Shots on target 4-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Fluminense the favourite at 54.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
