Los Angeles FC ended a five-match winless run against Minnesota with a 2-0 home win on May 1. LAFC has never won in Minnesota (D2 L1), one of two opponents the Black and Gold have visited three or more times and never won (W0 D2 L5 at LA Galaxy).
Minnesota is on its third three-match losing streak of the season, though this time it hasn’t scored in any of those games. This is the first time in club history that Minnesota has lost three straight games without scoring in any of them.
Los Angeles FC dropped points from a winning position for the first time this season, losing 2-1, at Dallas after scoring first. LAFC had won the previous 20 games in which it led at any point, one shy of the MLS record 21 straight set by Seattle in 2011-12 (including playoffs).
Minnesota attempted 21 shots in its 1-0 loss at Portland on Saturday, equaling the second-most shots the Loons have taken in a match without scoring in the club’s MLS history. They took 24 shots in a scoreless draw against Sporting Kansas City in August 2021.
Cristian Arango scored LAFC’s lone goal against Dallas on Saturday, his fourth straight game with a goal, the fourth time he’s scored in at least four straight games in his MLS career. Since his career debut last August, Arango has scored in a league-high 25 games, three more than any other player in that time.
