It wasn’t a huge surprise to see Minnesota United return to the 3-5-2 from the last two games; however, replacing the suspended Francisco Calvo with Tyrone Mears as a center back in favor of Wyatt Omsberg caught the ire of some in Loons fandom. Mears appeared alongside a central Michael Boxall and a left-sided Brent Kallman, with Miguel Ibarra and Alexi Gomez flanking the right and left. A midfield troika of Ibson, Rasmus Schuller, and Collen Warner fed the forward pairing of Darwin Quintero, playing a free role and Christian Ramirez leading the line.
