Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Peña Deportiva 1-1 Málaga after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Carlos Cristeto put the first mark on the match 33', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Málaga led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Peña Deportiva also shaded Total shots 10-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Málaga the favourite at 45.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
