Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Young Boys 3-3 Basel. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Akpe Victory 71', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Young Boys led Shots on target 9-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Young Boys also shaded Corners 9-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Young Boys the favourite at 67.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
