Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was DC United 0-0 Los Angeles FC. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither DC United nor Los Angeles FC found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: DC United led Shots on target 4-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Los Angeles FC also shaded Possession 39%-61%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Los Angeles FC the favourite at 52.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
