Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Molde 3-3 Sarpsborg 08. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Albert Posiadala 89', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Molde led Shots on target 9-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Molde also shaded Possession 63%-37%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Molde the favourite at 62.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
