Star Tribune: Defending set pieces continues to be an aggravating problem for Minnesota United
There’s no getting around it – set pieces are killing Minnesota United.
After Saturday’s draw at Houston, manager Eric Ramsay noted that the team’s own numbers ranked Minnesota as “one of the worst” teams in the league at defending set pieces. Wednesday against DC, the Loons got even worse, giving up goals in the 90th and 91st minutes, both from set pieces, to turn what looked like a win into perhaps the worst loss of the team’s now-nine-game winless stretch.
“I don’t think you could lose a game in a worse way,” said Ramsay.
