Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Fylde 1-1 Gillingham. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Tom Walker 83', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Fylde led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Fylde also shaded Total shots 13-9.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Gillingham the favourite at 40.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
