Postmatch editorial
NSÍ upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Hamrun Spartans 1-2 NSÍ. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Petur Knudsen scored 90+4' for NSÍ.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Hamrun Spartans led Possession 55%-45%, even though the scoreboard went another way. NSÍ also shaded Corners 6-7.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hamrun Spartans the favourite at 65.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
