Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Le Havre 4-4 Metz. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Gauthier Hein 85', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Le Havre led Corners 6-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Le Havre also shaded Total shots 14-12.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Le Havre the favourite at 62.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
