Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Perugia 0-0 Cosenza. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Perugia nor Cosenza found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Perugia led Total shots 12-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Cosenza also shaded Corners 3-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Perugia the favourite at 53.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
