Minnesota United's defensive struggles continue in loss at New England

Minnesota United's rough introduction to Major League Soccer continued on Saturday as the expansion club lost 5-2 to the New England Revolution.

Minnesota, which played in the NASL last year, has allowed 18 goals while only managing one draw through its first four games this season.

By comparison, Orlando City went 11 games before allowing 18 goals last season en route to an MLS-worst 60 goals conceded on the year. MLS teams only allowed five goals or more in seven games last season, but Minnesota has already done that in three.

Juan Agudelo gave the Revolution the lead in just the fourth minute with a header from close range, though Collen Warner was able to equalize with a well-placed shot from distance on the quarter-hour mark.
