Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Las Palmas 1-1 Real Zaragoza. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Marcos Cuenca 73', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Las Palmas led Shots on target 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Las Palmas also shaded Total shots 13-8.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Las Palmas the favourite at 71.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
