Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Liversedge 1-1 Chorley. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Liversedge 90', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Chorley led Shots on target 6-12, even though the scoreboard went another way. Chorley also shaded Total shots 9-17.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Chorley the favourite at 52.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
