Postmatch editorial

Canada made the numbers look right

The final score was Aruba 0-7 Canada. The strongest pre-match signals were already leaning toward that outcome.

The decisive turn arrived late when Jonathan David scored 90' for Canada.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Canada led Shots on target 0-12. Canada also shaded Corners 0-11.

Before kickoff, our model made Canada the likeliest result at 47.3%, while the median bookmaker line priced Canada at 99.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (57.5%), and that angle missed.
