Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Prishtina 1-1 Larne after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Chris Gallagher put the first mark on the match 7', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Prishtina led Shots on target 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Prishtina also shaded Total shots 17-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Prishtina the favourite at 57.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
