Shelbourne flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Linfield 0-2 Shelbourne. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Harry Wood put the first mark on the match 23', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Shelbourne led Shots on target 1-3. Shelbourne also shaded Corners 0-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Linfield the favourite at 45.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
