Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Girona led Total shots 29-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Girona also shaded Shots on target 4-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Girona the favourite at 50.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
