Flip the Switch: Marcelo Silva
The play: It may have seemed inconsequential at the time but in the 12th minute, Romain Metanire got free up the right wing and looked to have an opportunity to create some danger. Marcelo Silva came flying in and made a tackle that earned a foul call, but thwarted the Minnesota counter attack – one of United’s main sources of offense thus far in 2020.
The reason: The early tackle set the tone that RSL wasn’t going to allow anything easy in the match.
