Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Rotherham United 1-1 Reading. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Sam Nombe put the first mark on the match 25', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rotherham United led Total shots 15-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rotherham United also shaded Corners 3-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Reading the favourite at 42.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
