Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Hartlepool United 1-1 Solihull Moors after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Reghan Tumilty 90', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Hartlepool United led Possession 53%-47%, even though the scoreboard went another way.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Solihull Moors the favourite at 40.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
