After a season opening loss in Southern California, Minnesota United returned to the state last weekend for a Northern California showdown with Bruce Arena’s new look San Jose Earthquakes. The Loons flew high with a 1-0 win on the back of a Kelvin Yeboah goal to secure they’re second win of 2025. How did the fans react to a Late Night Loons win, we’ve got that here.
It's too late to be creative: 6 points

Honestly it was to late to do many things, I can wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
This defense-heavy strategy is giving me palpitations!
I think some Aspirin might help those, okay but seriously we understand. That was a really stress inducing second half.
Loons structure becomes the epicenter of defensive masterclass.

The Earthquake likes to be epicenter, but that just didn’t happen last weekend. 10/10 performance for the Minnesota defensive effort.
D is for Defense and also for Duggan.

Enough said, nothing to add here.
Minnesota United continues their short road swing this weekend, renewing the “Nicest Rivalry in Sports” in Kansas City, KS. Kickoff is set for 7:15pm and will be shown on FS1, the second nationally televised MNUFC match of the 2025 season.
