Postmatch editorial

The script held and Paris delivered it

The final score was Paris 3-2 Le Havre. The strongest pre-match signals were already leaning toward that outcome.

Ciro Immobile put the first mark on the match 29', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Le Havre led Shots on target 4-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Paris also shaded Corners 9-5.

Before kickoff, our model made Paris the likeliest result at 50.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced Paris at 46.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (51.5%), and that angle missed.
