Loons Seek Redemption After Painful Dra

Minnesota (2-1-1, 7 points) had a statement road victory in its grasp last week at Sporting Kansas City, holding a commanding 3-0 lead after 70 minutes. But the Loons unraveled late, conceding three goals in a 13-minute span and settling for a draw that felt more like a loss.

Manager Eric Ramsay acknowledged the gut-wrenching nature of the result, but emphasized his team’s strong play for the majority of the match. Despite the setback, Minnesota still holds a top-half position in the Western Conference and continues to draw early-season attention as a rising contender.

Minnesota will be without key players due to international duty, including forward Tani Oluwaseyi, who scored twice in Kansas City. The attacking load now shifts to the likes of Teemu Pukki and Sang-Bin Jeong as the Loons aim to stay aggressive on their home turf.

Galaxy Slowly Regaining Form

The LA Galaxy (0-3-1, 1 point) may still be seeking their first win of the season, but last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Portland marked a much-needed step in the right direction. Christian Ramirez scored his first goal for the club late in the match, capitalizing on strong work from Mathias Jorgensen.

Head coach Greg Vanney’s squad has battled early injury issues, most notably to new winger Joseph Paintsil (thigh) and midfield star Riqui Puig, who remains sidelined with an ACL injury. Paintsil’s potential return this weekend could provide a major boost for a Galaxy team that has lacked punch in the final third.

Despite sitting near the bottom of the standings, LA showed resiliency in Portland and will now aim to build on that performance as they face a Minnesota side vulnerable in transition.
