Bromley flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Rochdale 3-4 Bromley. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Corey Whitely scored 90+2' for Bromley.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rochdale led Possession 58%-42%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rochdale also shaded Total shots 13-10.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rochdale the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
