Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Mallorca 1-1 Valencia. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Samú Costa put the first mark on the match 49', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Mallorca led Shots on target 8-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Mallorca also shaded Total shots 20-10.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Mallorca the favourite at 38.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
