Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Universitario 1-1 Sporting Cristal. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Andrea Sentimenti 81', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Universitario led Total shots 14-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Universitario also shaded Shots on target 3-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Universitario the favourite at 54.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
