Punchline 1: If football were a calculator, this 2-2 would be its default setting—two goals, no winner, and a lot of digit-dance.
Punchline 2: They say the only thing harder than winning is keeping a clean sheet; tonight’s lesson: two teams, zero decisive verdict, and a whole lot of fans smiling anyway.
