Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Millwall after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Mark Sykes 86', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Queens Park Rangers led Corners 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Queens Park Rangers also shaded Total shots 12-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Queens Park Rangers the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
