Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Rodez 2-2 Caen. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Ibrahima Baldé 90', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rodez led Total shots 14-10, even though the scoreboard went another way. Caen also shaded Corners 2-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rodez the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
