Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Tromsø 0-0 Sarpsborg 08. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Tromsø nor Sarpsborg 08 found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tromsø led Shots on target 7-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Tromsø also shaded Total shots 14-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Tromsø the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
