In a matchup between two undefeated teams, Minnesota United met Columbus Crew SC on a rainy Tuesday evening to determine who would go through the Knockout Stage and face the San Jose Earthquakes in the Quarterfinals of the MLS Is Back Tournament. Playing a defensively disciplined game, the Loons refused to be baited into overcommitting and after scoring early off a corner kick put home by midfielder Robin Lod, sat back and absorbed the Crew’s best attempts time after time. After conceding a late penalty to Columbus, though, the game would go to a shootout, where Minnesota United would come out on top, sending the tournament’s darlings packing and themselves through to the next round.
