Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Holstein Kiel 2-2 St. Pauli. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Jonas Therkelsen 88', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Holstein Kiel led Possession 64%-36%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Holstein Kiel also shaded Total shots 19-12.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Holstein Kiel the favourite at 39.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
