Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was WSG Tirol 1-1 Blau-Weiß Linz. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Simon Seidl 71', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: WSG Tirol led Shots on target 3-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Blau-Weiß Linz also shaded Possession 36%-64%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Blau-Weiß Linz the favourite at 40.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
