One side of the split call landed for Draw

The final score was Real Sociedad 2-2 Real Betis. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The late equaliser came from Mikel Oyarzabal 90+1', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Real Sociedad led Possession 65%-35%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Real Sociedad also shaded Corners 4-3.

Before kickoff, our model made Real Betis the likeliest result at 38.0%, while the median bookmaker line priced Real Sociedad at 40.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (52.2%), and that angle landed.
