Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Inter Club d'Escaldes 1-1 Olimpija. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Diogo Pinto put the first mark on the match 42', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Inter Club d'Escaldes led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Inter Club d'Escaldes also shaded Corners 11-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Olimpija the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
