Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Sligo Rovers 1-2 FH. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Steven Lennon put the first mark on the match 44', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sligo Rovers led Corners 8-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sligo Rovers also shaded Shots on target 4-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sligo Rovers the favourite at 58.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
