Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Grasshopper 2-2 Zürich. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Bujar Pllana 90+6', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Grasshopper led Total shots 20-11, even though the scoreboard went another way. Grasshopper also shaded Corners 8-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Zürich the favourite at 40.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
