Minnesota United came into their final game of Phase I of the resumed MLS season replete with bodies both tired and injured. On the road against Sporting Kansas City, Head Coach Adrian Heath was left with little choice but to rest the trio of attacking midfielders who had caused headaches for both Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas at Allianz Field. In rotating the squad, Heath opted for a defensive look with a 3-5-2 that weathered the early storm of SKC chances well, holding a scoreless draw through the first half. Sensing that there might be something in the game, Heath shifted the look to a more traditional 4-3-3 in the second half with a bevy of subs, and while the Loons looked much more dangerous for it, they ultimately could not hold serve against an SKC side that outshot them 21-6.
