Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Real Salt Lake 2-2 Los Angeles FC. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Noel Caliskan 75', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Real Salt Lake led Shots on target 9-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Los Angeles FC also shaded Corners 5-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Los Angeles FC the favourite at 43.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
