Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Rodez 2-2 Pau. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Octave Joly 83', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rodez led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Pau also shaded Total shots 10-14.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rodez the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
