Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was SPAL 1-1 Perugia. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Tiago Casasola put the first mark on the match 12', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SPAL led Possession 63%-37%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Perugia also shaded Shots on target 3-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made SPAL the favourite at 37.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
