Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

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

The late equaliser came from Lukas Görtler  90+11', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: St. Gallen led Shots on target 11-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. St. Gallen also shaded Total shots 24-12.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made St. Gallen the favourite at 55.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
