Photo Gallery: MNUFC vs LAFC

Minnesota United hosted Los Angeles Football Club on Tuesday night. The Loons held the number one side in the Western Conference to just one goal. With the recent struggles that LAFC have had with taking all three points this one seemed like MNUFC could have came away the victor.

The Loons sit in fifth place with 45 points and a home playoff game is still feasible at this point. Minnesota only has three games left to workout their playoff hopes.

Next up for the Loons is a trip down to Kansas to take on Sporting KC on Saturday night.
