Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Villanovense 0-0 Sevilla. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Villanovense nor Sevilla found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sevilla led Total shots 9-21, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sevilla also shaded Possession 31%-69%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sevilla the favourite at 88.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
