Key Betting Insights
- Moneyline Performance: Pumas entered the second leg as the favorite with odds ranging from -133 to -170. While they secured the win for bettors, they failed to cover the three-goal margin needed to overturn the aggregate deficit.
- Total Goals Market: Pre-match expectations favored the “Over 2.5 Goals” market (odds at -181), given Pumas’ need for an aggressive attack. However, a stellar performance by San Diego FC goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega (8 saves) kept the scoreline low, making “Under 2.5” a high-value winner at approximately +135.
- Prop Bets: Pedro Vite (scored in the 47th minute) rewarded bettors who backed him as an anytime goalscorer. Conversely, popular MLS-based scorers like Anders Dreyer and Marcus Ingvartsen failed to find the net as San Diego adopted a defensive posture to protect their lead.
- Disciplinary Market: The match saw late drama with Rubén Duarte receiving a red card in the 96th minute (90+6′), which would have settled bets for “Red Card in Match: Yes”.Â
