MNUFC Show Steely Determination in 1-1 Draw vs. SKC

With a history stretching back to clashes in the U.S. Open Cup and a budding regional rivalry in MLS, Minnesota United and Sporting Kansas City met on a perfectly sunny Sunday to renew hostilities at TCF Bank Stadium. Western Conference-leading SKC opened the scoring in the 8^th minute with a header by Khiry Shelton, but MNUFC would level it after Darwin Quintero put his own rebounded header into the net in the 19^th minute. Although they would get a few chances to pull ahead, the Loons’ main achievement was weathering a storm of shots to take a point at home in the season’s first draw.
