Loons Back to League Play in LAMinnesota United returns its focus to MLS action with a Sunday evening meeting with Western Conference leaders LAFC. A massive point total has already locked up a playoff spot for LAFC, and it has the opportunity to secure the Western Conference title with a win over the Loons. The visitors will be hoping to repeat their last meeting with LAFC, a 5-1 win at TCF Bank Stadium last July. However, no team has been able to beat the league leaders at home this season, and just three have been able to eke out draws. To keep pace with LAFC, the Loons will have to find the multi-goal scoring form that has been absent for nearly a month. With just seven games to go, MNUFC must finish strong if it hopes to reach the postseason.

Loons Fall 2-1 in Open Cup FinalMinnesota United became the first club from the Land of 10,000 Lakes to reach the U.S. Open Cup Final, facing off against Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Two goals in the opening sixteen minutes gave the home side the lead early and put the Loons behind the eight ball for most of the game. Minnesota came out flying after halftime, as Robin Lod pinged the ball in off the upright in the 47th minute to get the Loons on the board. Two cautions in three minutes saw Atlanta’s Leandro Gonzalez Pirez sent off, leaving his team down a man for the final 16 minutes of the game. MNUFC had many chances, but could not convert for the equalizer, and would fall 2-1 in the club’s first cup final as an MLS team.

MNUFC GAME NOTES

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPMINNESOTA UNITED NEWS AND NOTES

Adrian Heath On Getting Back Going Ahead of LAFC“We’ve looked at the game and as I said to the group today, there’s an enormous amount of positives that have come from the game. You don’t feel it at time [when] you’ve just lost a final but then you look at the game back and after the first 20 minutes, I thought we may have been the better team. We were certainly the better team second half, created a lot of chances. For me, it’s a guide of how far we’ve come the last couple years because we couldn’t have gone toe to toe with Atlanta at any time since I’ve been here but this time we did.”

Heath On His Message to the Team Ahead of Sunday’s Game“You don’t want to beat yourself. Don’t give them opportunities in your own defensive third by trying to play out when they’ve got too many bodies around the box, too many people pressing the ball. Take your opportunities if and when they come. On the road, you cannot give anything away, you’ve got to make them earn everything they get and if we do that, we’ll take whatever comes our way. We know it’s going to be tough but we are going to go there – they know we’ve got seven games which are going to be huge for us now between now and the end of the season if we want to fulfill the ambition which was to make the playoffs before the season [started]. We’ve put ourselves in a great spot. To our seven [games remaining], we’ve got three at home. I think we are in a good spot but this is the first of what’s going to be like seven cup finals for us.”

Heath On Experience for the Young Guys in Big Games“As I said to the younger ones after the [Atlanta] game – they were devastated, the three young ones were devastated after the game. I said, remember this feeling. Remember what it’s like because trust me, I still remember what it’s like. We’ve got to make sure that next time we get there, it’s a different result. If we take that out of it, that’ll be good for them.”

Robin Lod On If He’s Had Time to Digest Tuesday’s Final “I think [that] you still feel a little bit sad because it was such a big opportunity to win something and even though you come second, you just lose in the last line. It was tough. It was a tough loss [to take]. We had our chances to win that game but I think in the end of the season, I think you will look back and think that it was a great run for the whole team. I still enjoyed – even though I came halfway [through the cup run] – that we made such a good run.”

Lod on a Tough Road Game Against LAFC“Of course, it’s going to be a tough challenge but I think that after the [Open Cup] final loss we are really motivated now to keep going in the league and go for the playoff spot. I think we are really motivated and we will give a really good challenge to them [LAFC], for sure.”

MNUFC Fall 2-1 to Atlanta in Exhilarating Cup FinalPlaying in their first ever cup final, Minnesota United were unable to find a second half equalizer against a 10-man Atlanta United side, coming up just short, losing 2-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The hosts struck twice in the first 20 minutes of the game through a Chase Gasper own goal and a strike from Pity Martinez. The Loons answered directly after halftime when Robin Lod steered home a lovely weighted cross from Kevin Molino in the 47th minute to open his account for the club. After Atlanta’s Leandro Gonzalez Pirez was shown a second yellow card in the 74th minute, Minnesota United pushed for an equalizing goal in the final 20 minutes of the game. Coming painfully close to tying the game in the final moments of the game, Atlanta’s two early goals stood to win the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

“We dug ourselves a hole with the two goals we conceded early,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath. “But, I thought the attitude of the guys was immense at times. We said to them at half time, ‘can we go and get the next goal?’ If we do, we feel there is something for us. And we did. As the game wore on, it was more desperation for them. We started to use the ball better, circulated the ball well. As you look back over the 90 minutes, we probably had four or five really good chances. Can’t fault the guys for their effort. A little bit too little too late.”

Six Loons Called Into International DutiesMinnesota United today announced Jan Gregus, Robin Lod, Rasmus Schuller, Kevin Molino, Mason Toye and Hassani Dotson are being called up for international play as the September international schedule begins for the Slovakia, Finland, Trinidad and Tobago and U23 U.S national teams, respectively.

In Europe, Gregus, Lod and Schuller continue their Euro 2020 qualifying campaigns. In Finland, Lod and Schuller will face Greece on Thursday, September 5 and Italy on Sunday, September 8. The Slovakia national team will face Croatia on Friday, September 6 then travel to Hungary for a Monday, September 9 matchup.

Molino joins the Trinidad and Tobago National Team for the CONCACAF Nations League, facing Martinique on Friday, September 6 and Monday, September 9.

Toye and Dotson join the U23 team at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center before facing Japan in an international friendly on Monday, September 9.

Gregus, Molino, Toye and Dotson will join their respective national teams following the MNUFC game against LAFC on Sunday. Lod and Schuller will join the Finland team prior to the game.

Additionally, Ally Hamis Ng’anzi has been called up to the Tanzania National Team for World Cup Qualifiers.

Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 24 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 each team 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 has 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 the the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.

The club spent two years in Austin before relocating to Orlando in 2010, to become Orlando City SC. In just four years under Heath, ORL won two USL Pro championships and three Commissioner’s Cups. The club joined MLS in 2015 and Heath’s influence helped build the team for a very successful inaugural season, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.

IAN FULLER | ASSISTANT COACH

Fuller joined MNUFC in 2016, following a successful stint with ORL. He was a player-coach with Orlando, helping the team to multiple titles in USL during his five years with the Lions. Fuller is a Portland native and first met Heath when he joined Austin Aztex in 2010. He was promoted to player-assistant coach for the club’s USL journey and was tapped to join the coaching staff full time as an assistant coach when Orlando joined MLS.

MARK WATSON | ASSISTANT COACH

Watson, a former Canada national team defender and assistant coach, brings a wealth of MLS experience to MNUFC, having played for SEA, VAN and DC. Additionally, Watson managed SJ before joining ORL as an assistant under Heath in 2014. During his tenure with the Quakes, Watson helped guide the team to a playoff berth in 2010 and its second Supporters’ Shield in 2012. Watson was named interim head coach in June 2013 and closed the season with the best record in MLS at 11-5-3. In addition to his MLS experience, Watson previously served as assistant coach with the Canada men’s national U20 and senior teams, as well as several years as an assistant with the USL PRO Charleston Battery.

JOHN PASCARELLA | ASSISTANT COACH

Pascarella arrives in Minnesota from Des Moines Menace of the Premier Development League (PDL), where he served as manager since January 2017. Prior to his time in the PDL, Pascarella spent eight seasons with SKC. Starting as a goalkeeper and fitness coach from 2009–2011, he then transitioned to become an assistant coach during an incredibly successful time in the franchise’s history; he helped guide SKC to a club-record six-straight playoff appearances, including the 2013 MLS Cup Final and the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles.
