Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Tenerife 0-1 Sporting Gijón. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Alejo Sarco put the first mark on the match 69', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tenerife led Shots on target 4-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Tenerife also shaded Corners 4-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Tenerife the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
