Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Montpellier 1-1 Dijon. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Adel Lembezat 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Montpellier led Corners 4-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Montpellier also shaded Total shots 27-12.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Montpellier the favourite at 53.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
