Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Tirana 1-1 Dinamo Batumi. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Regi Lushkja 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tirana led Shots on target 7-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Tirana also shaded Corners 4-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Tirana the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
