Minnesota United got a fast start in the playoffs under first-year head coach Eric Ramsay. Returning to the postseason after missing out in 2023, the Loons earned a hard-fought Game 1 win in penalty kicks, titling the Round One series in their favor.
Goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair keyed the victory, making six saves in a man-of-the-match performance, while a stout defensive unit highlighted by captain Michael Boxall thwarted RSL’s attack. Robin Lod (7g/15a) is a difference-maker in midfield, while DP signing Kelvin Yeboah has been prolific since joining in the summer, scoring seven goals in just 10 appearances.
After posting a season-ending run of 6W-2L-1D, the Loons are riding high heading into Game 2. Can they continue their hot form and secure the Round One upset?
