Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Montpellier 0-2 Le Havre. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Yassine Kechta put the first mark on the match 3', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Montpellier led Corners 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Montpellier also shaded Shots on target 6-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Montpellier the favourite at 40.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
