Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Gent 1-1 Genk after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Tibe De Vlieger 120', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Genk led Shots on target 4-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Genk also shaded Possession 48%-52%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Gent the favourite at 49.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
