In what was a frustrating night in the sizzling heat of Houston, missed opportunities, disputable refereeing decisions and general frustration were the story of the night as Minnesota United dropped a 2-0 game at the hands of the Houston Dynamo. With multiple players returning from their respective national teams less than 24 hours before kickoff, fatigue played a key role in a disappointing MNUFC performance. Conceding two goals in the first half, the Loons were unable to overturn the deficit in what was a well-contested second half. Ethan Finlay had multiple chances to grab late goals and make the final moments of the game interesting but defensive heroics and a questionable video review stopped Minnesota from getting anything out of a night to forget in Houston.
