Five-star Minnesota United shocks LAFC

Minnesota United scored twice at the end of first half as the hosts continued their fine form with a 5-1 demolition of Western Conference high flyers Los Angeles FC.

Rasmus Schuller's opener was cancelled out by LAFC's Benny Feilhaber within a minute on Sunday, before Minnesota duo Christian Ramirez and Darwin Quintero scored before halftime.

Miguel Ibarra added a fourth approaching the hour mark before providing Ramirez with his second moments later to complete the upset win.

Minnesota's third consecutive victory moved the team up to seventh in the Western Conference, while LAFC's pursuit of conference leaders Dallas took a hit as they remain four points adrift of the Western Conference summit.
