Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Inter Miami 2-2 Columbus Crew. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Brais Méndez 84', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Inter Miami led Corners 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Inter Miami also shaded Shots on target 4-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Inter Miami the favourite at 62.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
