Game Central

Match Presented by ZOA Energy

What an exciting time to be a Loon! Your Boys in Black and Blue are currently on a seven-game undefeated streak, positioned just below first-place Vancouver in the Western Conference. And just when you thought the good news couldn’t get any better, they’re heading back home this weekend! The state birds will face off against FC Dallas in a showdown that promises to outshine any rodeo event. Following a scoreless draw with Toronto, Minnesota is eager for a three-point victory to maintain their momentum against a Dallas team that remains unbeaten away from home and is looking to bounce back after a recent home loss. To clinch a win, Minnesota must keep Dallas’ Lucho and Petar Musa from scoring while creating opportunities on the attack — let’s hope they end the night with a spirited rendition of everyone’s favorite Oasis tune.
