In what Adrian Heath billed as “the biggest game of the season,” Minnesota United came out firing, early and often. Scoring just five minutes into the first half and seven minutes into the second half, the Loons dismantled a San Jose man-marking defensive system that many opponents have struggled with. Darwin Quintero struck first for the Loons, rifling an inside-of-the-foot volley just past the fingertips of San Jose goalkeeper Daniel Vega. A Michael Boxall second half goal then cancelled out a San Jose equalizer from Tommy Thompson at the close of the first half. Deep into stoppage time, Kevin Molino found himself in acres of space and made no mistake in finishing to secure a vital three points for Minnesota at the death.
