Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was PSV 2-2 Fortuna Sittard. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Edouard Michut 90+2', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: PSV led Corners 9-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. PSV also shaded Total shots 21-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made PSV the favourite at 85.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
