Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Sarajevo 0-0 Spartak Trnava. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Sarajevo nor Spartak Trnava found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sarajevo led Shots on target 3-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sarajevo also shaded Corners 7-0.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sarajevo the favourite at 42.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
