Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was CF Montréal 1-1 DC United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Prince Owusu put the first mark on the match 50', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: CF Montréal led Shots on target 8-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. CF Montréal also shaded Total shots 23-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made CF Montréal the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
