Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Rīgas FS 2-2 Hamrun Spartans. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Darko Lemajic 87', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rīgas FS led Corners 10-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rīgas FS also shaded Possession 65%-35%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rīgas FS the favourite at 65.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
