Maidstone United flipped the prices on their head
The final score was Maidstone United 1-0 Stevenage. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Stevenage led Shots on target 2-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Stevenage also shaded Possession 43%-57%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Stevenage the favourite at 62.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
