Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Parma 2-2 Alessandria. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Edoardo Pierozzi 81', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Parma led Possession 57%-43%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Parma also shaded Total shots 10-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Parma the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
