Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Moreirense 0-0 AVS. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Moreirense nor AVS found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Moreirense led Shots on target 4-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Moreirense also shaded Possession 65%-35%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Moreirense the favourite at 47.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
