Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Olympique Marseille 1-1 Nice. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Elye Wahi 88', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympique Marseille led Shots on target 6-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Olympique Marseille also shaded Total shots 24-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Olympique Marseille the favourite at 58.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
