Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Lokomotiv Plovdiv 1-1 FC København. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Pep Biel 74', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC København led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC København also shaded Possession 42%-58%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC København the favourite at 62.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
