Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Zira 1-1 Hajduk Split. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Brahim Konaté put the first mark on the match 31', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Zira led Corners 3-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Zira also shaded Shots on target 3-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hajduk Split the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
