Tonight’s League Cup game with Club Necaxa at Minnesota United FC was a wild time. It started with a hotly contested foul by Necaxa in the box that resulted in a United penalty kick giving them an early 1 - 0 lead. There were players surrounding the VAR scene as the ref was reviwing the call and Necaxa came out very chippy after the call. There was a lot of physicality on both sides and when Necaxa got a breakaway a foul on the Bacharach for the United sent them down a man with a red card 🟥 for the remaining 69 minutes of play!

The man of the match was Dayne St. Clair who had a dozen saves in the second half and somehow with incredible pressure the United kept Necaxa scoreless and took the win.

Truly an incredible night of soccer enjoyed with my friends Jim and Tom! ⚽️
