As international players began to filter back to their MLS clubs following the international break, Minnesota United FC welcomed SC Paderborn 07 of the 2. Bundesliga to Allianz Field for a friendly. Minnesota was the first stop in Paderborn’s preseason tour around the United States and the club became the first ever club from Germany’s second division to play against an MLS side. Fortunately for the Loons, Paderborn also became the first non-MLS international visitor to fall to MNUFC since the club joined the league in 2017. Minnesota United scored first and held off their friendly foe for a 4-3 finish.
