Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Houston Dynamo 0-0 SJ Earthquakes. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Houston Dynamo nor SJ Earthquakes found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SJ Earthquakes led Shots on target 0-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Houston Dynamo also shaded Corners 7-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Houston Dynamo the favourite at 62.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
