Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Genk 0-0 Antwerp. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Genk nor Antwerp found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Genk led Shots on target 13-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Genk also shaded Total shots 34-13.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Genk the favourite at 69.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
