Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Gorica 2-2 Shirak. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Bede Osuji 90+2', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Shirak led Shots on target 2-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Shirak also shaded Total shots 4-13.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Gorica the favourite at 66.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
