The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Hartberg 3-2 Ried. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Marco Hoffmann put the first mark on the match 6', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ried led Possession 41%-59%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Hartberg also shaded Shots on target 5-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ried the favourite at 44.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
