Molino and Ramirez lead Minnesota United to first-ever MLS win

Kevin Molino and Christian Ramirez led the way as the Loons finally broke through against Real Salt Lake.

Minnesota United’s rough start to the season got a little bit better Saturday as the Loons picked up their first-ever MLS win, taking down Real Salt Lake 4-2.

The expansion side had lost three and drawn one in its first four games and surrendered a whopping 18 goals in the process. Its struggles on the backline led Minnesota to making a trade Friday, acquiring Sam Cronin and Marc Burch from the Colorado Rapids for Mohammed Saeid and Josh Gatt.
