Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Marine 2-3 Buxton. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Tai Sodje scored 86' for Buxton.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Buxton led Shots on target 4-7. Marine also shaded Corners 5-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Marine the favourite at 40.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
