Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Olympique Lyonnais 0-0 Amiens SC. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Olympique Lyonnais nor Amiens SC found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympique Lyonnais led Shots on target 3-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Olympique Lyonnais also shaded Possession 64%-36%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Olympique Lyonnais the favourite at 70.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
