Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Montpellier 0-0 Boulogne. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Florian Tardieu put the first mark on the match 29', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Montpellier led Corners 7-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Montpellier also shaded Possession 67%-33%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Montpellier the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
