Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

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

The late equaliser came from Justas Lasickas 70', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rijeka led Shots on target 4-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ilves also shaded Corners 4-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rijeka the favourite at 54.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
