Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Panathinaikos 0-0 Viktoria Plzeň. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Panathinaikos nor Viktoria Plzeň found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Panathinaikos led Total shots 20-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Panathinaikos also shaded Shots on target 4-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Panathinaikos the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
