Minnesota United fall to Portland Timbers FC in their first match in MLS 5-1.
Goals:
14’ 1-0 Portland - Lawrence Olum
47’ 2-0 Portland - Valeri
79’ CHRISTIAN RAMIREZ SCORES MINNESOTA UNITED’S FIRST MLS GOAL (2-1 Portland)
82’ 3-1 Portland - Valeri (PK)
90’+1 Portland 4-1 - Adi
90’ + 2 Portland 5-1 - Adi (2)
Minnesota obviously has some things to work out (wing backs, in particular). Calvo and Demidov held things down fairly well in the back, and Molino created a lot. Once Ramirez went in, MNUFC’s attack seemed to move forward much more.
