The league-leading Cosmos demonstrated why they are where they are with a shutout of MLS’ newest expansion franchise. While the Loons have been on a points streak, it’s been a trickle of three draws bookended by wins for a total of nine out of a possible 15 points. Still, Minnesota United had a respectable showing, pressuring hard the rest of the way once finding themselves down in the opening half.
Diosa found the back of the net for NYC in the 32nd minute as Minnesota continued the trend of giving away possession early. Not the best tactic in this writer’s opinion, then again, I retired from the sport at the ripe age of six.
