Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Horsens 1-1 Nordsjælland. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Nicklas Røjkjær put the first mark on the match 33', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nordsjælland led Total shots 8-23, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nordsjælland also shaded Possession 30%-70%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nordsjælland the favourite at 55.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
