Minnesota United FC headed out East for their fourth match of the season, taking on the New York Red Bulls. The Loons walked into the match on a two game win streak, previously beating both the Chicago Fire and Orlando City. On match day 4, the Loons knew that they would face one of the toughest teams in the East, and to make matters even more difficult, a string of injuries and international call-ups hit the back line of the team prior to today's match. Fullbacks Tyrone Mears and Jerome Theisson were both ruled out with injuries, while Center back duo Michael Boxall and Francisco Calvo were both off captaining their national teams in friendly matches.
