Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was HJK 1-1 Motherwell. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Teemu Pukki 72', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: HJK led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. HJK also shaded Corners 5-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made HJK the favourite at 47.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
