Match report
A 2-1 win for Orlando City SC over New York City FC in Major League Soccer on Saturday, October 24, with 1-1 at half-time and 2-1 the final score. Orlando City SC scored two goals and New York City FC scored one goal, making three goals in all. The result gave Orlando City SC the win, while the score at the interval had the teams level.
The final score captures a match that was still undecided at half-time. By full-time, Orlando City SC had turned that level position into a win over New York City FC. The available match facts establish the score at the break and the final outcome, without giving a sequence of goal events.
The numbers
Before kickoff, Goalorithm's model gave Orlando City SC a 43% chance of winning, a draw 24.9%, and New York City FC a 32% chance of winning. These probabilities are estimates. They describe the model's view before the match, rather than a measure of how the game developed once play began.
The match itself finished with Orlando City SC winning, following a level half-time score. The final result is therefore the outcome recorded on the pitch; the pre-match percentages belong to the model's forecast. Keeping those two things distinct makes the model's call clear without treating its probabilities as a description of the match events.
