Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Gent 2-1 Club Brugge. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Ibrahima Cissé scored 85' for Gent.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Gent led Shots on target 8-3. Club Brugge also shaded Corners 1-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Club Brugge the favourite at 60.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
