Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Zrinjski 2-2 Valur. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Nemanja Bilbija 88', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Zrinjski led Corners 8-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Zrinjski also shaded Possession 67%-33%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Zrinjski the favourite at 82.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
