Kristiansund flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Kristiansund 2-0 Tromsø. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when L. Alvheim scored 77' for Kristiansund.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tromsø led Shots on target 2-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Tromsø also shaded Corners 4-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Tromsø the favourite at 51.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
