Postmatch editorial

Atlanta United upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Minnesota United 1-2 Atlanta United. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Tristan Muyumba scored 78' for Atlanta United.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Minnesota United led Shots on target 4-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Minnesota United also shaded Corners 6-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Minnesota United the favourite at 59.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
