SIX minutes of stoppage time to close out #SEAvMIN

86' Obed Vargas scores again for Seattle as Dayne St. Clair is just not able to get enough glove on the ball.

81' Julian Gressel with a free kick not far out of the 18. Loons unable to get a decent chance on goal, but create some chaos and ultimately #Sounders are able to stifle the attack.

79' #MNUFC making their final three subs for the night.

On: Carlos Harvey, Julian Gressel, and Hassani Dotson
Off: Robin Lod, Joseph Rosales, and Jefferson Diaz

74' no cards being issued but the referee is having NONE of Jordan Morris foul on Robin Lod

Northland Soccer Journal @northlandsoccer.com · 18h

65' #MNUFC Substitution

On: Kelvin Yeboah
Off: Wil Trapp

Loons have 3 subs and 2 windows left

Northland Soccer Journal @northlandsoccer.com · 18h

Opening 15 minutes of the second half has probably been the most boring 15 minutes of the match, which is fine by me . . . for now

Northland Soccer Journal @northlandsoccer.com · 18h

Second half of #SEAvMIN is underway!

Single sub for #MNUFC as Morris Duggan comes on to replace Nico Romero at left centre back. Loons will have four subs and three windows to use for the remainder of the match.

HALF-TIME | #SEAvMIN has been a barn burner of a match. Three goals from Seattle followed a whirlwind ending, with two stoppage time goals from the Loons.

#Sounders | 3 – 2 | #MNUFC

ROSALES with another huge chance for Minnesota and even through the tele it sounds like the life has been sucked out of the stadium. #SEAvMIN

Northland Soccer Journal @northlandsoccer.com · 18h

45+5' MINNESOTA GOOAALL!!

Robin Lod breaks out and scores after a nice slip pass from Hlongwane and the Loons are down one after two stoppage time goals!

29' referee showing 🟨 like candy right now. Vargas issued Seattle's first yellow and the Loons have a corner.

Unfortunately Seattle is able to clear it out with ease

Kickoff in Seattle! Loons are in their black kits while Seattle is wearing their green tops and blue shorts.

Northland Soccer Journal @northlandsoccer.com · 19h

No changes to the Starting XI for #MNUFC, Yeboah is on the bench and the only true forward in the squad for the Loons.

Single swap for the #Sounders with Musovski jumping in to replace Rothrock
