Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Valur 2-2 Vllaznia Shkodër. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Lúkas Logi Heimisson 90+9', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Valur led Corners 13-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Valur also shaded Possession 61%-39%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Valur the favourite at 68.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
