Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was PAOK 0-1 Anderlecht. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Mihajlo Cvetkovic put the first mark on the match 1', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: PAOK led Total shots 16-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. PAOK also shaded Corners 5-1.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made PAOK the favourite at 61.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
