Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Silkeborg IF 1-1 FC Midtjylland. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
William Kirk put the first mark on the match 13', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Midtjylland led Corners 4-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Silkeborg IF also shaded Shots on target 5-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made FC Midtjylland the favourite at 74.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
