Postmatch editorial
Banfield upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Racing Club 0-1 Banfield. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Alexander Machado put the first mark on the match 24', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Racing Club led Total shots 23-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Racing Club also shaded Possession 82%-18%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Racing Club the favourite at 62.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
