Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Hertha BSC 1-1 VfL Bochum 1848. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Keven Schlotterbeck 90+4', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Hertha BSC led Corners 9-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. VfL Bochum 1848 also shaded Shots on target 3-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hertha BSC the favourite at 42.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
