MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.— It was a chance for Minnestoa United to prove that they are a competitive team in their second season, and the Loons delivered. A dominant performance, barely lessened by a few blunders, showcased the best of Minnesota in front of home fans for the first time. Second half goals from Ibson and Sam Nicholson led the way as Minnesota topped Chicago by a 2-1 scoreline for the second time.
Minnesota manager Adrian Heath was forced to make an undesirable change to his starting lineup after attacking midfielder Kevin Molino tore his ACL in last week’s win over Orlando City.
