For their roles in Minnesota United’s penalty shootout victory over Columbus Crew SC in the Round of 16 of the MLS Is Back Tournament, midfielder Osvaldo Alonso and Head Coach Adrian Heath have been named to the MLS Team of the Week, presented by Audi, with midfielder Hassani Dotson making an appearance on the bench. Alonso and Dotson played key roles in Heath’s scheme to frustrate a Columbus team that had won all three games of its Group Stage while conceding zero goals.
Alonso has made one other appearance in the Team of the Week during the MLS Is Back Tournament, slotting in after the Loons’ scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake.
