Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Nîmes 1-1 Strasbourg. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Dimitri Liénard 82', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Strasbourg led Shots on target 1-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nîmes also shaded Corners 2-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Strasbourg the favourite at 48.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
