Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was CF Montréal 2-2 LA Galaxy. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Prince Owusu 79', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: CF Montréal led Total shots 15-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. CF Montréal also shaded Possession 58%-42%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made CF Montréal the favourite at 51.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
