May 21, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Minnesota United FC News Release
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. – The Loons follow up Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy by saddling up and heading south to the Lonestar State for a Sunday evening showdown with FC Dallas. And, if recent history tells us anything, it’s that Minnesota United has more than a fighting chance against Dallas, as the Loons have been unbeaten in five straight matches against FC Dallas (3-0-2), MNUFC only having one longer active unbeaten run, (six straight vs. San Jose). On the flip side, FC Dallas saw its nine-match unbeaten run (6-0-3) end with a 2-1 defeat at Vancouver on Wednesday. Just don’t expect the Loons to come into Sunday complacent, as Dallas is tough to take down at home, with five consecutive wins to date.
