Fenerbahçe flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Olympique Lyonnais 1-2 Fenerbahçe. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Vedat Muriqi put the first mark on the match 24', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympique Lyonnais led Possession 59%-41%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Fenerbahçe also shaded Corners 5-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Olympique Lyonnais the favourite at 50.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
