Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

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

The late equaliser came from Loïs Openda 88', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Vitesse led Possession 67%-33%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Vitesse also shaded Corners 10-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Vitesse the favourite at 83.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
