Minnesota United headed into its game against the Eastern Conference and Supporters’ Shield leading Columbus Crew SC with reinforcements in the form of forward Kei Kamara and backup goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas but still missing a wide swathe of regular starters. Without Jan Gregus (red card) and Osvaldo Alonso (injury), Head Coach Adrian Heath opted for Jacori Hayes and Hassani Dotson in midfield, plus Thomas Chacon getting the start on the left wing with Kevin Molino unavailable. While MNUFC made a game of it late with a clutch goal in the 88th minute and another in stoppage time that was ultimately called back for offside, the Loons could not overcome an early goal deficit, ultimately falling 2-1 as Columbus remained perfect at home.
