Minnesota Battles for First Open Cup TitleMinnesota United plays for its first title as an MLS club in the U.S. Open Cup Final on Tuesday night, facing off against fellow 2017 expansion side Atlanta United FC. The Loons become the first Minnesota team to ever reach the final after four confident results in the Cup, outscoring its opponents 15 to 5 along the way. Darwin Quintero leads the competition with six goals, scoring in every game so far for MNUFC, and will need to be at his best to keep up with the red-hot home side. With just one loss at home this season, Atlanta will have a significant home field advantage. MNUFC has stunned the crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium before, pulling off a stoppage time comeback to hand Atlanta it’s first-ever loss at their home.

Late Goal Unravels MNUFCMinnesota United suffered its second-consecutive road loss on Thursday night, falling 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City. The home side controlled the game for the opening 45 minutes, preventing the Loons from getting into a rhythm on the road. Defender Ike Opara had the majority of the Loons’ chances against his former club, controlling the air on set pieces, but unable to find the breakthrough. Debuts for both Wilfried Moimbe-Tahrat and Thomás Chacón highlighted the evening as the the new players got to showcase their skills in MLS for the first time. However, SKC would spoil the show just minutes from the final whistle with a counterattack goal from forward Erik Hurtado to take all three points.

MNUFC GAME NOTES

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPMINNESOTA UNITED NEWS AND NOTES

Ike Opara Named to Team of the WeekFor an unprecedented seventh time this season, Ike Opara represents MNUFC in the MLS Team of the Week for Week 24. He features for the first time since Week 22 after helping the Loons take four points from two games.

Opara began his week helping the Loons to a clean sheet win against the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday at Allianz Field. He made a clearance off the line to keep the Rapids off the board in the first half and nearly scored a powerful header to put the game away in the final minutes. He was a major threat in the air in Saturday night’s draw against Orlando City SC, winning five challenges with his head and getting two headed chances towards goal.

Adrian Heath on Team Morale“We know it’s going to be difficult, it’s Atlanta, maybe one of the most difficult places to go and try to win a game and that’s what we have to do. It’s not a league game where you think, well, we’ll take a point, you’ve got to go and try to win it. It’s going to be difficult but we’ll prepare the best that we can and go and give it the best shot. The mood in the camp is good. It looks like we’ve got virtually everybody fit. Let’s get ready, play.”

Heath on Key Weaknesses From Atlanta“They’ve got really good attacking pieces. What we can’t do, is beat ourselves by giving them opportunities with cheap turnovers in our own defensive third. [We have to] take our opportunities when they come which is always vital on the road. More importantly, [we have to] make sure we are nice and competitive, nice and compact, don’t give much away and see what happens.”

Vito Mannone on His First Cup Final In American Soccer “It’s massive. I came here with one objective. Obviously, it was to go for silverware. It’s great for me to be in a cup final again. It’s [been] a couple of years so I was waiting for that. It’s a good opportunity to do something and be a winner. That’s all you do in football. You train so hard during the day and every day is important to reach these kind of things. Massive stadium, massive challenge, can’t wait for it.”

Mannone on What He Thinks it Will Take to Beat Atlanta“You need to be extremely well-organized defensively. You need to be solid because they are very good attacking-wise. They’ve got power all over the team. We need a top game from everybody and we need to be on top of our game, especially our rhythm away from home, being solid and making it difficult for them. Once you make it difficult, I know these places. They have a big advantage but sometimes they can become difficult places to play for the home team sometimes because if we make it difficult, it’s down to us. It’s down to us to be solid on the night and be in the game and make it difficult for them. Once we do that, I’m sure we will create chances.”

MNUFC Partners with Sun Country Airlines for Fan Charter FlightSun Country Airlines has partnered with Minnesota United for an Official Fan Charter to the U.S. Open Cup Final in Atlanta on Tuesday, August 27.

“In Atlanta, our club has a chance to make history as we compete for the first championship in our MLS history in the U.S. Open Cup Final,” said MNUFC CEO Chris Wright. “As soon as the final whistle blew in our win over Portland, we knew we would have to find a way to bring our support with us, and we’re tremendously excited to be partnering with Sun Country on a chartered flight to the Final. We know our fans will prove that the Wonderwall can be built — fan by fan — wherever this club goes.”

Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 24 teams from across the United States and Canada.

After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The league’s first game was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 20 teams play in soccer-specific venues.

The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 games during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and each team in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away games. The top seven teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Starting in 2019, the league has adopted a new single-elimination format for the entirety of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top seven teams in each conference qualify for postseason, with the regular-season conference champions receiving a first-round bye. The second through seventh seeds will play the opening round games, with the highest seed hosting games throughout the tournament. The winners will move on to join the one-seed teams in the conference semifinals. The winner of each conference championship will move on the the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.

Internationally, Chacón has played for the Uruguay National Team at every level, making a total of 48 game appearances and scoring two goals for the U17 team, including one in the U17 2017 South American Championship against the Bolivia U17 team on March 2, 2017.

Cuban midfielder, Alonso joined MNUFC January 10, 2019 after spending ten seasons with the Seattle Sounders. A proven leader, MLS Cup Champion and four-time MLS All-Star, the “Honey Badger” brings a wealth of MLS experience and tenacity to the Loons’ midfield. In 2018, he started 21 games in 25 game appearances, and for the sixth time in his 10-year career, recorded three assists during the regular season.

#99 ABU DANLADI | FORWARDHeight: 5’10” Weight: 170 Birthdate: 10/18/1995 Hometown: Takoradi, GhanaPrevious Club: UCLA Acquired: SuperDraft (#1 Pick) 1/13/2017
