Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Minnesota United made things needlessly hard on themselves tonight against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Two momentary lapses in concentration cost the home team dearly as Vancouver jumped out to an early two-goal lead thanks to a penalty and a goal off of a set piece.
The Loons were able to regroup at halftime and eventually equalized the game thanks to goals from Francisco Calvo and Jerome Thiesson. Despite dominating in time of possession for the entire game, the Loons ultimately came up just short of finding the game-winning goal as the two sides played to a 2-2 draw.
