Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Gent 0-0 Hibernian. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Gent nor Hibernian found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Gent led Total shots 10-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Gent also shaded Corners 7-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Gent the favourite at 59.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
