Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Fylde 2-2 Darlington. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Aidan Rutledge 90+5', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Fylde led Corners 10-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Fylde also shaded Possession 58%-42%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Fylde the favourite at 63.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
