Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Paris 4-1 Monaco. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Jonathan Ikoné put the first mark on the match 4', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Monaco led Corners 1-11, even though the scoreboard went another way. Monaco also shaded Possession 34%-66%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Monaco the favourite at 52.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
