Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was HamKam 1-1 Aalesund. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Endre Hjertager Osenbroch put the first mark on the match 45+1', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: HamKam led Shots on target 6-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. HamKam also shaded Corners 8-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made HamKam the favourite at 48.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
