It was a long night spent on the back foot for Minnesota United, as it finished off a three-match road trip against Real Salt Lake. Both sides were desperate for three points following tough midweek results. Despite a spirited defensive effort, led by goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth, the Loons were unable to get past RSL, falling 1-0 on a late goal.
“Disappointing with a lot of aspects of our play,” said Minnesota Head Coach Adrian Heath. “I don’t think we moved the ball well enough. I don’t think we caused enough problems in their final third. I couldn’t fault the players for what they gave us, but it wasn’t good enough for this evening.
