Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Hajduk Split 0-1 Ružomberok. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Zvonimir Sarlija put the first mark on the match 7', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Hajduk Split led Possession 69%-31%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Hajduk Split also shaded Corners 8-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hajduk Split the favourite at 78.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
