Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Santos 2-2 Chapecoense. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Neymar 89', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Santos led Total shots 21-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Santos also shaded Shots on target 7-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Santos the favourite at 73.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
