Saturday was a beautiful afternoon for a Minnesota matinee, but just over three minutes of play in the second half marred the image as Minnesota United FC gave up three goals and eventually all three points to FC Dallas.
After a 3-0 loss (with a heavy personnel rotation) away to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday, MNUFC head coach Adrian Heath reverted to his preferred lineup. The attacking front four of Luis Amarilla, Franco Fragapane, Emanuel Reynoso, and Bongokuhle Hlongwane, looked ready to go; the Wil Trapp-Robin Lod midfield pairing was restored; and Kemar Lawrence returned to his leftback role, opposite DJ Taylor.
