St. Louis City SC came to town to take on the Loons in a saturated match that saw little relief from the rain.  The Western Conference leaders scored two fairly quick goals in the second half to claim all three points and left the Loons with a higher mountain to climb in order to reach the playoffs.

Minnesota United get their next opportunity to gain some ground in the playoff hunt when they host the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at 7:30pm.
