Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was LOSC Lille 3-0 Lens. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Hákon Arnar Haraldsson put the first mark on the match 44', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: LOSC Lille led Shots on target 7-1. LOSC Lille also shaded Total shots 13-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Lens the favourite at 40.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
