MLS Preview: D.C. United (5-10-3) at Minnesota United FC (8-8-4)

The home side has won all four MLS meetings between Minnesota and D.C., with each team recording two home victories. The Loons have outscored D.C., 5-0, in the two meetings in Minnesota.

Minnesota allowed a game-tying goal to substitute Johnny Russell in the team’s 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday. It was the ninth time this season that the Loons had allowed a substitute to score a goal against them, which is the most in MLS.

D.C. United got goal from Ola Kamara in the 92nd minute to earn a 2-2 draw against the Crew on Wednesday. It was the latest match-tying goal for the Crew since incoming manager Wayne Rooney scored in the 92nd minute to draw Toronto in June 2019.

Emanuel Reynoso had 92 touches in Minnesota’s Wednesday draw with Sporting KC. It was Reynoso’s seventh game this season with 90+ touches, with the only MLS player with more such games in 2022 being New England’s Carles Gil (11).

Taxi Fountas scored his 10th MLS goal in just his 12th appearance for D.C. United on Wednesday. Only five players in league history have reached the 10-goal mark in fewer appearances, most recently Nemanja Nikolic for the Fire in 2017 (11 games).
