Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was St. Mirren 1-1 Dundee United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Zachary Sapsford put the first mark on the match 27', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: St. Mirren led Shots on target 8-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. St. Mirren also shaded Total shots 17-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made St. Mirren the favourite at 44.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
