Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was HB 0-0 Derry City. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither HB nor Derry City found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Derry City led Shots on target 3-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Derry City also shaded Corners 1-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made HB the favourite at 38.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
