Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Shamrock Rovers 1-1 APOEL. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Dylan Watts 90+2', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: APOEL led Total shots 4-14, even though the scoreboard went another way. APOEL also shaded Corners 2-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made APOEL the favourite at 52.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
