Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Hyde United 2-2 Prescot Cables. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Prescot Cables 90+6', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Hyde United led Shots on target 6-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Hyde United also shaded Total shots 13-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hyde United the favourite at 45.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
