Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Guingamp 1-1 Monaco. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Stevan Jovetić 90+4', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Monaco led Shots on target 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Monaco also shaded Possession 31%-69%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Monaco the favourite at 46.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
