The first true test for Minnesota United came late Saturday night in a 3-2 loss to the LA Galaxy. Minnesota looked quite tired in the first moments of the game and ended the first half two goals down. Defensive struggles were apparent across the field, but some things went well too. Here are five things we learned from the late night loss:
The Finnish midfielder looked slow and largely uninvolved in possession. Schuller had 32 touches, which was the third least among Minnesota starters, and hardly contributed to the attack. Schuller looked like he did not quite know how to be involved, almost being isolated out wide where a winger would be, but not being a natural winger himself.
