Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Shelbourne 2-2 Ajax. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Sean Moore 85', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ajax led Possession 28%-72%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ajax also shaded Corners 4-11.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ajax the favourite at 82.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
