Postmatch editorial
New England upset the pre-match prices
The final score was DC United 0-3 New England. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Alhassan Yusuf put the first mark on the match 23', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: New England led Shots on target 3-7. New England also shaded Possession 40%-60%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made DC United the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
