Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Pescara 1-1 Spezia. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Gabriele Artistico 73', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Pescara led Shots on target 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Pescara also shaded Total shots 14-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Pescara the favourite at 48.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
