The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Leioa 2-1 Racing Santander. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Eneko Undabarrena scored 89' for Leioa.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Racing Santander led Shots on target 2-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Leioa also shaded Corners 8-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Racing Santander the favourite at 52.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
