Game Central
MNUFC2 is going strong into their sixth match of the season, having won four of five games with some stellar performances across the board. They’ll look to keep the energy high as they host St. Louis this Sunday, who are only two points ahead of Minnesota despite having played four more games.
Since MNUFC2’s last MLS NEXT Pro match, a 1-0 defeat at the hands of North Texas SC, we saw nine MNUFC2 players called up to the first team for U.S. Open Cup play against Louisville City FC last week. Darius Randell made history as the youngest player to ever debut and score for Minnesota United, and a strong performance in goal by Wessel Speel kept the sheet clean. Their victory advanced Minnesota to the Round of 16, where they’ll host St. Louis’ first team at home May 21. The Twos will take that tournament experience with them into this regular-season matchup, as they look to get back into the MLSNP win column and keep pushing up the table. Read on for everything you need to know about today’s matinee matchup.
