Postmatch editorial
Houston Dynamo upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Vancouver Whitecaps 0-1 Houston Dynamo. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Franco Negri put the first mark on the match 34', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Houston Dynamo led Shots on target 1-5. Vancouver Whitecaps also shaded Corners 8-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Vancouver Whitecaps the favourite at 64.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
