Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Red Star 0-0 Sochaux. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Red Star nor Sochaux found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Red Star led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Red Star also shaded Total shots 20-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Red Star the favourite at 52.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
