Star Tribune: Loons trail, lead, then draw with New York

Minnesota United has hardly trailed this season; when Emil Forsberg opened the scoring for New York on Saturday, 11 minutes into the game, it was just the fifth time the Loons had gone behind all year.

That Minnesota fought back to lead by a goal at halftime was a testament to Minnesota’s effort. It was the Loons’ first comeback of the season. But it also made it all the more frustrating when they gave away the lead in the 90th minute, on a goal from Eric Choupo-Mouting, and earned a 2-2 draw on the road.

“Bittersweet,” Kelvin Yeboah said to reporters via Zoom after the game. “Really bittersweet, because we really played well.”
