The results in the past few days have played very well into the hands of Minnesota United FC. On the brink of facing a near guarantee of missing the playoffs, MNUFC has done the improbable, with a little hep from others. Real Salt Lake lost both matches they played in the past week, Saturday to San Jose and last night to Portland.
Then Sunday the Loons defeated Sporting Kansas City before playoff contenders, the LA Galaxy and LAFC, drew with Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps respectively.
