Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Marítimo 2-2 Academico Viseu. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Adrián Butzke Benavides 88', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Academico Viseu led Shots on target 4-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Academico Viseu also shaded Total shots 10-12.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Marítimo the favourite at 49.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
