Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Girona 1-1 Elche. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Álvaro Rodríguez put the first mark on the match 39', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Girona led Shots on target 7-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Girona also shaded Total shots 10-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Girona the favourite at 55.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
