The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was St. Gallen 3-4 Thun. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Brighton Labeau put the first mark on the match 9', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: St. Gallen led Total shots 25-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. St. Gallen also shaded Corners 6-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made St. Gallen the favourite at 61.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
