Presented by Toro
It’s time for the Loons’ final matchup before the league takes a break for the biggest global competition, and it’s promising to be packed full of action. Minnesota United hosts major Western Conference contender Real Salt Lake in an afternoon contest for the ages. RSL has settled into third in the West, consistently making waves between the dynamic attacking trio of Sergi Solans, Zavier Gozo, and (of course) Diego Luna. The visitors look to extend their winning streak to three while the Loons are hoping to battle their way back from a pair of losses.
It’s the World Cup sendoff. It’s $2 hot dog day. It’s MNUFC vs. Real Salt Lake, and it’s time to get excited.
