Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

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

The late equaliser came from Dániel Sallói 70', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Toronto led Shots on target 6-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Toronto also shaded Total shots 14-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Toronto the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
