Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Mechelen 3-3 Standard Liège. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Myron van Brederode 90+12', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Standard Liège led Shots on target 4-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Mechelen also shaded Corners 5-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Mechelen the favourite at 37.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
