Postmatch editorial
Vardar flipped the prices on their head
The final score was KuPS 2-3 Vardar after penalties. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Azer Omeragić put the first mark on the match 59', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: KuPS led Corners 12-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Vardar also shaded Shots on target 4-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made KuPS the favourite at 65.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
