In a remarkable last-gasp comeback, Minnesota United clinched their first-ever playoff appearance mid-week against Sporting Kansas City. Now, they’ll try to lock down a home playoff match with a win against the Supporters’ Shield winners, Los Angeles FC, who arrive at Allianz Field this weekend.
Although the playoffs have been secured, there is still plenty for Minnesota to play for. They are much stronger at home than they are away, having lost once at the Allianz all season. Should they earn home-field advantage, they will be a tough out in the playoffs. A win on Sunday, then, could be massive.
