Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Lleida Esportiu 1-3 Barakaldo. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Pablo Santiago scored 82' for Barakaldo.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Barakaldo led Shots on target 2-9. Barakaldo also shaded Total shots 7-16.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Lleida Esportiu the favourite at 37.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
