Here are 3 key takeaways from Minnesota United’s 1-0 loss to the Columbus Crew on Independence Day.
A valiant effort
A loss is always disappointing, but Loons fans should be proud of their team after this one. They had as many chances as Columbus did, if not more, and had several opportunities to score first.
Considering all the starters Minnesota was missing, they really had no business being this match, but a solid team effort almost held a dangerous Columbus team to a draw, and if not for some brilliance by Kekuta Manneh, they would have.
