Super short answer, no. Longer answer, yes but also no, but the Loons can very much play spoiler to almost anyone’s MLS Cup chances.
Minnesota United’s last two competitive matches show the tale of two teams that the Loons have been this season. Against Atlanta United in the Open Cup Final MNUFC gave up two early goals, and had a third early one called off due to offsides. In Atlanta they would have their backs against the wall the entire night trying to overcome an early deficit.
Minnesota came flying out of the gate in the second half scoring just 2 minutes after the break but couldn’t muster a goal afterwards.
