In the 33rd minute of Minnesota United’s 3-3 draw with New York City FC, the Loons pulled ahead in an unlikely way.
For whatever reason, Sean Johnson, NYCFC’s normally stout goalkeeper, misplayed a simple back pass, letting it roll into the back of his net.

It was a glaring mistake from the ‘keeper, who was exposed by his position’s prominence. Vito Mannone, Minnesota’s goalkeeper, expressed sympathy for his counterpart after the match. “Mistakes happen on the field,” said Mannone.
