Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was New York RB 1-1 Chicago Fire. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Cameron Harper 85', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: New York RB led Corners 3-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. New York RB also shaded Shots on target 6-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made New York RB the favourite at 42.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
