Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Lyngby Boldklub 1-1 FC Midtjylland. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Stanley Iheanacho put the first mark on the match 50', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Midtjylland led Corners 3-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. FC Midtjylland also shaded Possession 43%-57%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC Midtjylland the favourite at 54.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
