After four-odd months, Minnesota United at last took the pitch for a game against Sporting Kansas City as the Loons opened their run in the MLS Is Back Tournament. Played under the lights of the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and the oppressive humidity of the Florida summer, the game opened with Sporting Kansas City asserting themselves and gradually pinning Minnesota in their own end, eventually going up 1-0 at the end of the first half. As SKC tired, though, MNUFC grew into the game and after goalkeeper Tim Melia was sent off with a red card in the 75th minute, the Loons pounced on sub keeper Richard Sanchez, scoring twice in stoppage time to bring home all three points.
