Postmatch editorial

St. Louis City flipped the prices on their head

The final score was LA Galaxy 1-3 St. Louis City. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Lukas MacNaughton put the first mark on the match 42', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: St. Louis City led Shots on target 3-9. St. Louis City also shaded Corners 4-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made LA Galaxy the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
