Minnesota United earned 3 big points at home against Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. Here are 3 key takeaways from the match.
The defense continues to perform
This is something that seemed impossible after the first month of the season, but Minnesota’s defense continues to come up big. This is the Loon’s second shutout in 3 matches, and they’ve only allowed 1 goal in that span.
Francisco Calvo and Brent Kallman, in particular, did an excellent job defending the penalty area, and they were also able to pretty much take Dom Dwyer right out the match, frustrating the now US-eligible striker.
