For the second year in a row, Minnesota United found themselves with the fourth seed in the playoffs, this time facing a surging Colorado Rapids team that won on Decision Day to vault into fifth. With Colorado winning their last three and Minnesota unbeaten in eight, something had to give and the Loons made sure it was the Rapids. While the visitors began brightly, the home side seized momentum in the 22nd minute on a strike by midfielder Kevin Molino. The Rapids regrouped in the second half but found themselves undone by goals in the 54th and 79th minute, with Molino completing his brace on the second of those two.
