Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was SC Freiburg 1-1 VfL Wolfsburg. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Philipp Lienhart 75', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: VfL Wolfsburg led Corners 1-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. SC Freiburg also shaded Possession 63%-37%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made SC Freiburg the favourite at 47.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
