Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Rijeka 0-0 AEK Larnaca. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Rijeka nor AEK Larnaca found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rijeka led Shots on target 5-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rijeka also shaded Total shots 23-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rijeka the favourite at 51.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
