Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Pafos FC 3-3 Salzburg. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Murad Mammadov 84', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Pafos FC led Shots on target 9-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Pafos FC also shaded Corners 4-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Salzburg the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
