Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Sporting Braga 2-2 Estrela Amadora. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Stefan Leković 90+6', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sporting Braga led Corners 7-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sporting Braga also shaded Possession 74%-26%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sporting Braga the favourite at 58.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
