Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Olympique Lyonnais 0-4 Lens. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Wesley Saïd put the first mark on the match 20', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympique Lyonnais led Corners 20-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Olympique Lyonnais also shaded Possession 55%-45%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Olympique Lyonnais the favourite at 65.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
