Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Rayo Majadahonda 1-1 Tenerife after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Carlos Ruiz put the first mark on the match 16', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rayo Majadahonda led Shots on target 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rayo Majadahonda also shaded Corners 9-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rayo Majadahonda the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
