Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Sint-Truiden 1-1 Gent. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Wilfried Kanga put the first mark on the match 45', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sint-Truiden led Shots on target 4-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sint-Truiden also shaded Possession 64%-36%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sint-Truiden the favourite at 48.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
