Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was St. Mirren 3-3 Motherwell. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Jardell Kanga 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: St. Mirren led Shots on target 9-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Motherwell also shaded Possession 45%-55%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made St. Mirren the favourite at 40.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
