Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Häcken 1-1 Kalmar. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
A. Keita put the first mark on the match 12', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Kalmar led Shots on target 1-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Kalmar also shaded Total shots 10-12.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Häcken the favourite at 57.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
