Postmatch editorial

Canada settled a divided pre-match read

The final score was Cayman Islands 0-11 Canada. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The decisive turn arrived late when Lucas Cavallini scored 76' for Canada.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Canada led Shots on target 0-16. Canada also shaded Corners 0-9.

Before kickoff, our model made Cayman Islands the likeliest result at 38.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced Canada at 99.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (54.6%), and that angle missed.
