Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

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

The late equaliser came from Giacomo Olzer 80', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SPAL led Total shots 18-10, even though the scoreboard went another way. Brescia also shaded Shots on target 5-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made SPAL the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
