Additionally, the last regular-season goal Crew SC allowed from open play was against Vancouver Whitecaps FC last year in a 1-1 draw on Septem-ber 21, 2019.

Win or Go HomeWith the Group Stage completed and regular season results off the table, it’s all about the here and now in the Knockout Stage. It won’t be easy for MNUFC, facing a Columbus team that absolutely bodied the opposition in Group E, allowing no goals and winning all three games. Darlington Nagbe has reigned supreme in the midfield while forward Gyasi Zardes has rung up three goals in as many games. But Minnesota is likewise undefeated and has looked better in each game of the tournament as the team has worked its way back to the form it opened the season with. The availability of Kevin Molino — whose form so far in the tournament has been top drawer — will be key, but if he’s good to go, the Loons have as good a chance as anyone of ending Columbus’ impressive run and advancing to the quarterfinals.

A Draw to Finish Group DMinnesota United came into Wednesday’s match controlling their own destiny in the Group Stage. Colorado had little to play for, having already been eliminated from the MLS Is Back Tournament. But with regular season results on the line and a long history of close games and animosity between the sides, there was every reason to believe Minnesota’s final game of the Group Stage would be a feisty affair and the teams delivered. In the end, MNUFC would have to satisfy themselves with a draw and a point, 11 points through the first five games of the regular season. The result also meant the team locked up the D2 spot in the Group Stage, sending them on to face Columbus Crew SC — the tournament’s hottest team — in the Round of 16.

MNUFC GAME NOTES

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPMINNESOTA UNITED NEWS AND NOTES

MLS is Back: MNUFC Secure Second Place of Group D with Draw Against Colorado RapidsMinnesota United came into Wednesday’s match controlling their own destiny in the Group Stage. Colorado had little to play for, having already been eliminated from the MLS Is Back Tournament by Sporting KC’s win over Real Salt Lake earlier in the day. But with regular season results on the line and a long history of close games and animosity between the sides, there was every reason to believe Minnesota’s final game of the Group Stage would be a feisty affair and the teams delivered.

MLS is Back: Columbus Crew Round of 16 PreviewThe Crew have impressed in the tournament so far, albeit in a surprisingly weak group. Atlanta United (zero points) and New York Red Bulls (three points) put up little fight against a well-organized Columbus Crew and last year’s Wooden Spoon winning FC Cincinnati (six points) conceded four goals as the Crew comfortably finished top of the group with the tournament’s joint-largest margin of victory. The Crew have been impressive, scoring nine goals in 2020 while conceding just once, and would be a difficult matchup for any draw.

Minnesota United has been turning over its squad throughout the tournament and has yet to hit full steam, with Luis Amarilla recovering from an early tournament strain, Kevin Molino and Osvaldo Alonso nursing small knocks and Defender of the Year Ike Opara staying home from the tournament altogether. Despite the odds against, MNUFC managed to secure three points against the Western Conference leading Sporting Kansas City in its opening group matchup and earned two more points in draws versus Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids, all of whom went into the tournament undefeated.

Moving out of the group stage, where games played counted against the regular season standings and into the Round of Sixteen where game results will not affect the overall standings, both teams have everything left to play for. While Columbus holds a slight edge in the series matchup, the Loons got the better of The Crew in their last meeting, with Ethan Finlay scoring against his former team to secure three points for Minnesota United.

Head Coach Adrian Heath on his thoughts of the first three games of the MLS is Back Tournament“I think we got progressively better, still not where we’d like to be. But like I’ve said, because of the number we’ve had to work with, normally in preseason we do six to eight games before the opening game of the season, this will be our fourth 11 v 11 so pleased with attitude of the players. It’s been a four-month break. Some of the teams have had chances to have intra-squad scrimmages, some of them have got second teams, etc. so for this group to do what they’ve done is excellent. Before the season started, you’ve heard me say a million times you work on two points a game, and here we are with 11. I’m happy with the start that we’ve had and now I think we’ve played ourselves into a little bit of form. We’ve got a difficult opponent in Columbus [Crew], a well-coached team, they’ve got good players, spent a lot of money on bringing in good players in this offseason and that’s shown so far. We know it’s going to be tough but I also know that if we play like we can, we can win the game.”

Heath on what challenges Columbus present as a unit“They’ve got good players, as you know and a lot of them players, [Lucas] Zelerayan they paid a lot of money for and I actually think [Darlington] Nagbe is the best in his position now in the league. They’ve got quality all over the field; internationals, well-drilled unit, obviously well-motivated, full of confidence at this moment in time. It’s going to be tough but I know Caleb [Porter] well enough to know that we’ll be prepared for the game.”

Defender Michael Boxall on how Jose Aja has played filling in for 2019 Defender of the Year Ike Opara“I think he’s done outstanding. He’s really played his role and as a centerback partner, you need to have that communication and familiarity and we obviously haven’t had that but he’s come in, slotted in seamlessly and it helps having quality players around us also, obviously Tyler [Miller] Ozzie [Alonso] and our two fullbacks [Chase Gasper, Romain Metanire] have been incredible so far.”

Goalkeeper Tyler Miller on leading the counter with good distribution from the box“That’s something I really pride myself on, being able to distribute the ball well. I think there’s times when you need to read the game, especially in this heat, late at night, knowing the conditions, knowing how the guys are feeling. That’s something we’ll have to manage throughout the game but if I see an opportunity where we can play quick and get a good opportunity, I’ll take it.”

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPMLS IS BACK COMPETITION FORMAT

Major League Soccer returns with all 26 MLS clubs competing in the MLS is Back Tournament at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida beginning July 8. Group stage games will count in the MLS regular season standings and the tournament winner will earn a spot in the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League, replacing the berth previously awarded to the MLS regular season points leader in the conference opposite of the 2020 Supporters’ Shield winner.

Group assignments for each of the 26 teams were determined through a live draw on June 11, with Minnesota United being drawn into Group D alongside Real Salt Lake, Sporting Kansas City and the Colorado Rapids. Similar to a FIFA World Cup format, the tournament will feature a continuous schedule of games nearly every day, with games beginning at 8 a.m., 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. CDT. The majority of the games will be played in the evening. Each team will play three group stage games, with those results counting in the 2020 MLS regular season standings. After 16 consecutive days of group stage games, the top two teams from each group along with the four best third-place finishers will move on to the knockout stage. The knockout stage will include Round-of-16, Quarterfinals, and Semifinals rounds, as well as the Championship match on August 11. Games tied at the end of regulation in the knockout phase will proceed directly to a penalty kick shootout.

In addition to games that count in the regular season standings and the Champions League berth, players will have the opportunity to earn additional bonuses as part of a $1.1 million prize pool.

The substitution limit for the tournament will follow the new protocol set by the IFAB and allow five substitutions per game.

Upon completion of the MLS is Back Tournament, MLS plans to continue its regular season with a revised schedule in home markets, followed by the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and the 25th MLS Cup. The schedule will be developed at a later date. The final number of games and the schedule for the remainder of the 2020 MLS regular season will be announced in the coming weeks.

The MLS medical department and the league’s infectious disease experts have developed a comprehensive COVID-19 testing plan which will be implemented for the entire MLS is Back Tournament.

Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 26 teams from across the United States and Canada.

After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The league’s first game was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 20 teams play in soccer-specific venues.

The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 games during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and teams in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away games. The top seven teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Starting in 2019, the league adopted a new single-elimination format for the entirety of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top seven teams in each conference qualify for postseason, with the regular-season conference champions receiving a first-round bye. The second through seventh seeds will play the opening round games, with the highest seed hosting games throughout the tournament. The winners will move on to join the one-seed teams in the conference semifinals. The winner of each conference championship will move on to the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.
