Minnesota United was able to secure its fifth victory of the season tonight, snapping a three-game losing streak across all competitions. After failing to tally a goal in almost a month, Adrian Heath’s boys found a way to best a Timbers side that sat at third in the Western Conference prior to tonight’s tilt.
Tonight’s result did not come easy for the Loons as the Timbers fought back valiantly after going down by a goal within the first ten minutes of the game. Both sides experienced some fluky plays, and when it was all said and done, three out of the five goals came as own goals or from the penalty spot.
