April 30, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Minnesota United FC News Release
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. – Saturday’s storm held off long enough for MNUFC and Chicago Fire to go the full ninety-minutes, but in the timespan it was raining goals at Allianz Field. Emanuel Reynoso, Kervin Arriaga and Robin Lod all found the back of the net to give the Loons an impressive 3-0 win over the Fire, who had only allowed two goals prior to their trip to St. Paul. Up next, Minnesota United heads west to sunny Los Angeles to face LAFC this Sunday, May 1. Los Angeles is a tough place to play, and so far this season, Portland has been the only team to leave Banc of California with a point of any sort after they tied LAFC 1-1 on March 6. Draws have been commonplace between MNUFC and LAFC with their last three matches ending with the teams splitting the points. Going into Sunday’s game, both the Loons and LAFC are fresh off of a three-game week that ended in three sets of three points. As long as the Loons continue to maintain their momentum, they stand a good chance to top the white-hot Western Conference leaders.
ADRIAN HEATH ON LAFC AS A CLUB
“They play in a similar shape, they play their 4-3-3 and they’ve got really good attacking pieces, whether it be [Cristian] Arango or whether it be [Carlos] Vela. Obviously, [Cristian] Fernandez is injured. [Kwadwo] Opoku has come in and done well. It’s going to be tough at their place. It always is. We’ve been there in the past and got a couple of results so it’s going to be tough but not impossible. Looking forward to it.”
DAYNE ST. CLAIR ON LAFC FROM AN ATTACKING PERSPECTIVE AND PLAYERS SUCH AS CARLOS VELA…
“We know that when he does well, LAFC does well. Going into this weekend, if we can try to eliminate him and do our best job against them, we know we’ve gone there before and gotten a result, so it’s not impossible. We’re going to go in with the same mindset. We can go and get a result again.”
