Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was CF Montréal 2-2 New England. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Carles Gil put the first mark on the match 30', 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 8-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. CF Montréal also shaded Corners 6-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made CF Montréal the favourite at 48.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
