Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1-1 Nürnberg. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Noel Futkeu put the first mark on the match 13', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nürnberg led Total shots 13-22, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nürnberg also shaded Possession 42%-58%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nürnberg the favourite at 39.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
