Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was St Albans City 1-1 Corinthian-Casuals after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: St Albans City led Shots on target 5-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. St Albans City also shaded Possession 72%-28%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made St Albans City the favourite at 70.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
