Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Real Jaén 1-1 Levante 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 Miguel Martín 82', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Levante led Corners 6-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Levante also shaded Possession 45%-55%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Levante the favourite at 73.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
