There couldn’t have been a starker contrast between last week’s home opener and tonight’s away match in Commerce City. Instead of a snowy 19 degrees, it was a pleasant 80 degrees as Minnesota United faced the Colorado Rapids in front of 14,013 fans, playing their first match on grass. The team leaned heavily on their NASL vets by inserting Brent Kallman, Miguel Ibarra and Jonathan Davis into the starting lineup and each of them would play his part in fighting tooth and nail to a 2-2 draw to give MNUFC their first point in MLS history.
“I can’t praise the players enough for their attitude,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath.
