Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Runcorn Linnets 1-1 Ashton United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Jason Gilchrist 90+5', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ashton United led Shots on target 1-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ashton United also shaded Corners 4-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ashton United the favourite at 45.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
