Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Charlotte 2-2 Atlanta United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Miguel Almirón  76', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Charlotte led Total shots 24-12, even though the scoreboard went another way. Charlotte also shaded Shots on target 9-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Charlotte the favourite at 47.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
