Three years ago, Minnesota United was but a fledgling MLS club, and its first two games had not gone to plan. A 5-1 loss to Portland on the road to open the season was followed by a 6-1 loss at home to Atlanta in the driving snow and the Loons flew west to face the Colorado Rapids with -9 goal differential. A Christian Ramirez goal in the 58th minute put the Loons in front for the first time in their MLS history, but less than a minute later, Marlon Hairston knocked home a header to draw the Rapids level.
