Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Grenoble Foot 38 1-1 Le Mans. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Jessy Benet put the first mark on the match 35', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Le Mans led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Le Mans also shaded Corners 1-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Le Mans the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
