Moneyball's prediction against the result
Moneyball did not publish a pre-match estimate for this match, so there is nothing to mark it against.
Why it went this way
On the day the expected goals were 0.96 for Colorado Rapids and 1.88 for Minnesota United.
Colorado Rapids scored about 1.0 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.
Minnesota United created the better chances, 1.88 xG to 0.96, and still did not win. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.
Colorado Rapids had 4 shots on target, Minnesota United 2.
Colorado Rapids had 61% of the ball.
A red card changed the shape of the match, and no pre-match model can see one coming.
