Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Sirius 4-4 Mjällby. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Tom Pettersson 90+1', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sirius led Corners 9-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Mjällby also shaded Possession 43%-57%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sirius the favourite at 61.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
