Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Tondela 0-0 AVS. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Tondela nor AVS found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tondela led Shots on target 3-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Tondela also shaded Total shots 14-9.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Tondela the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
