If the San Jose Earthquakes are ever in need of a confidence booster, they would be wise to schedule a match against Minnesota United.
The two sides met for the fourth time ever at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and the visiting Earthquakes ran away with their fourth win over the Loons. Two penalties proved to be the difference as a golazo from Christian Ramirez couldn’t answer San Jose’s play.
Manager Adrian Heath opted for what would be widely considered the Loons’ best starting lineup. Forward Christian Ramirez returned to the top of the typical 4-2-3-1 after two games out of action.
