Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Westerlo 1-2 Standard Liège. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Westerlo led Corners 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Westerlo also shaded Total shots 24-12.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Westerlo the favourite at 50.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
