Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

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

Carlos Romero put the first mark on the match 27', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Osasuna led Shots on target 8-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Osasuna also shaded Total shots 24-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Osasuna the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
