Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Málaga 0-0 Almería. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Málaga nor Almería found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Málaga led Shots on target 3-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Málaga also shaded Corners 4-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Málaga the favourite at 45.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
