We Have Been Shushed: Ramirez breaks slump as Loons halt Revolution

We, the haters, have been silenced by one Christian Ramirez.

The striker led the way for Minnesota United as the Loons edged out the visiting New England Revolution 2-1.

Manager Adrian Heath elected to make no changes to his entire match day squad from the Loons’ 3-2 win over Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Romario Ibarra, who arrived in Minnesota this week, was not on the bench.

Christian Ramirez made a certain writer here at E Pluribus Loonum (hint, you’re reading his work right now) feel awfully sheepish. Ramirez picked up a misplaced header in the New England half and chipped goalkeeper Matt Turner in the fifth minute to earn his team an early lead and fans in the stadium free drinks at Surly Brewing Company.
