Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Pau 2-2 Bastia. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Christophe Vincent 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bastia led Shots on target 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bastia also shaded Total shots 7-16.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Pau the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
