Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean

The final score was Girona 0-1 Mallorca. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

SamĂș Costa put the first mark on the match 43', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Girona led Corners 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Girona also shaded Total shots 14-9.

Before kickoff, our model made Girona the likeliest result at 51.5%, while the median bookmaker line priced Girona at 51.7% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (50.2%), and that angle missed.
