Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Reims 1-0 Toulouse. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Jordan put the first mark on the match 39', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Toulouse led Shots on target 2-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Toulouse also shaded Corners 0-9.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Toulouse the favourite at 47.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
