Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

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

The late equaliser came from Alexander Díaz 71', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Platense led Total shots 10-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Platense also shaded Possession 64%-36%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Platense the favourite at 36.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
