Minnesota United comes into its first mid-week game sitting last in both the western conference and the league, at 0-4 the worst start in their MLS history. Since a promising first 30 minutes in Seattle to open the season, when it looked like the Loons might continue the form of their 2020 playoff run, the team has been disappointing, only able to generate three goals off of 61 shots while allowing 10. Although there have been glimmers of hope throughout the early season, the losses have been quite comprehensive, with Minnesota being out-played and out-coached as a team while also playing mistake-prone and uninspired soccer individually.
