Playing in their first ever cup final, Minnesota United were unable to find a second half equalizer against a 10-man Atlanta United side, coming up just short, losing 2-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The hosts struck twice in the first 20 minutes of the game through a Chase Gasper own goal and a strike from Pity Martinez. The Loons answered directly after halftime when Robin Lod steered home a lovely weighted cross from Kevin Molino in the 47th minute to open his account for the club. After Atlanta’s Leandro Gonzalez Pirez was shown a second yellow card in the 74th minute, Minnesota United pushed for an equalizing goal in the final 20 minutes of the game.
