Minnesota United Cap Winless Streak at 60 Days

It took nearly two months, but Minnesota United FC won on Saturday over the Portland Timbres. Two goals for recent signing Romario Ibarra and a corner kick goal from Michael Boxall saw the Loons over the visitors from Portland, but the evening was far from perfect for the home side.

A red card for Fernando Bob and a yellow for Maximiano mean that the Loons will be without the midfield pair for the next game. With playoff hopes dead, the Loons have only pride to play for as the season comes to a close.
