Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

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

The late equaliser came from Gabriele Artistico 90', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Venezia led Possession 37%-63%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Venezia also shaded Total shots 11-17.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Venezia the favourite at 62.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
