In an afternoon match at TCF Bank Stadium, Minnesota United FC welcomed Vancouver Whitecaps FC, looking for its second win in a row. The early back and forth found the teams deadlocked and scoreless at the half, but a red card for Mason Toye in the 50th minute forced adjustments that let the Loons take a 1-0 lead and hold it under intense pressure from a physical Whitecaps side.
“I thought it was a monumental effort considering how long we played with a man down,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath. “[Vancouver is] probably the biggest team in the league.
