Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Milton Keynes Dons 1-1 Huddersfield Town. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Joe Taylor put the first mark on the match 9', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Huddersfield Town led Shots on target 3-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Huddersfield Town also shaded Corners 3-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Milton Keynes Dons the favourite at 40.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
