Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Willem II 2-2 SC Heerenveen. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Devin Haen 82', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SC Heerenveen led Possession 39%-61%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Willem II also shaded Shots on target 5-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made SC Heerenveen the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
