Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was UCV Moquegua 0-0 Melgar. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither UCV Moquegua nor Melgar found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Melgar led Shots on target 0-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Melgar also shaded Possession 29%-71%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Melgar the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
