Christian Ramirez, Ben Speas spur Minnesota United to victory over Tampa Bay

With just two shots and only 44% of possession time in the first half, the Loons came out on fire in the second. It was clear Carl Craig’s lads weren’t having any more of the recent rut that has seen them go 0-2-2 in their previous four games. Instead, United took control after the first 45 minutes, maintaining good possession and generating great chances on the attack.

Talented striker Christian Ramirez was a man on a mission all game long, getting the ball on net with every chance he got. His persistence was finally rewarded in the 82nd minute, finishing a Ben Speas cross for his league-leading 13th of the season.
