Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Universitatea Cluj 2-2 Brann. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Pedro Pinho 87', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Brann led Possession 32%-68%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Universitatea Cluj also shaded Corners 9-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Brann the favourite at 49.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
