The estimate's most likely result was a Como win at 45%, and that is what happened. Its single most likely score was 1-1 (11%).

The match had far more goals than expected: the estimate was about 3.3 goals and there were 10.

The pre-match consensus had a Como win at 41%, the same lean as Moneyball.
