Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Lecce led Total shots 6-12, even though the scoreboard went another way. Hellas Verona also shaded Shots on target 3-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hellas Verona the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
