Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was OH Leuven 3-0 Antwerp. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Abdoul Karim Traoré put the first mark on the match 34', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Antwerp led Corners 1-11, even though the scoreboard went another way. Antwerp also shaded Possession 35%-65%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Antwerp the favourite at 41.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
