GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — After a win against league leader St. Louis, Minnesota United enters Matchday 7 ready for more. In their upcoming trip to the Windy City, Minnesota United could continue making history. A win in Chicago means MNUFC will be unbeaten in their first four road games of the season, a club record. Minnesota United leads the all-time series with Chicago 3-1-1 (W-L-D) and is 1-1-0 at the Fire. The Loons have maintained a solid run of form and have only conceded three goals so far. The Fire have narrowly edged out the Black and Blue in goals thus far, scoring seven to Minnesota’s six. Without doubt, the match at the weekend will be tightly contested as Chicago is eager for their first win at home.

Ultimately, it’s no different for us in terms of opponents in the sense of it’s going to be away from home and [against] a team that is desperate to win. We just have to account for that.”

KERVIN ARRIAGA ON WHAT THE GROUP IS DOING WELL TO BE UNDEFEATED

[SPA] “Estamos trabajando bien, y aun siempre hay detalles que afinar, que seguir mejorando. Por ahí, el profe nos esta ensenando los videos para seguir buscando esos detalles, afinarlos y buscar, siempre…estar ahí peleando partido a partido. Lo invicto es que se da en el futbol….
