Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Glentoran 1-1 Gzira United 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 Bobby Burns 90+13', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Glentoran led Shots on target 10-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Glentoran also shaded Total shots 28-7.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Glentoran the favourite at 58.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
