Last night Minnesota United defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 4-1 in the Loons most dominating performance of the tournament to date. Not only did this send MNUFC to the MLS Is Back Semi-Finals but it also gave them their fourth straight win over the Quakes. Defensively Minnesota was able to play a fluid shape bouncing between a 4-1-4-1 and 4-3-3 as needed. The flexibility allowed the Loons to not hold San Jose out and away from the 18 for a good part of the match, but also in turn allowed the offense to break out of the Quakes man to man coverage and counter attack.
