Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Paris Saint Germain 2-2 Lorient. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Aiyegun Tosin 78', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Paris Saint Germain led Total shots 24-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Paris Saint Germain also shaded Shots on target 6-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Paris Saint Germain the favourite at 73.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
