Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Lens 0-2 Reims. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Keito Nakamura scored 88' for Reims.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Lens led Shots on target 14-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Lens also shaded Total shots 37-10.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Lens the favourite at 63.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
