Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was SC Heerenveen 0-2 PEC Zwolle. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Nick Viergever put the first mark on the match 50', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SC Heerenveen led Possession 64%-36%, even though the scoreboard went another way. PEC Zwolle also shaded Shots on target 5-7.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made SC Heerenveen the favourite at 66.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
