Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Yelimay Semey 2-2 Alashkert after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Higor Gabriel 120+1', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Yelimay Semey led Shots on target 8-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Alashkert also shaded Total shots 12-21.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Yelimay Semey the favourite at 55.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
