Game Central

Playoffs Presented by Allianz, Allina Health, Target and Federated Insurance

Game 1 against Real Salt Lake was one to remember. While the first half saw little action in front of either goal, the second half was full of excellent opportunities, forcing both goalkeepers to stand on their heads to keep things scoreless at the end of regulation. Both sides went four-for-five in the penalty shootout, with Jefferson Díaz securing the win in sudden death by scoring the sixth shot while RSL's Braian Ojeda hit the crossbar. Now, the Loons will look to close out the best of three series at home this Saturday at Allianz Field. While the Loons are in some of their finest form of the season, it's important to remember how tight of a game Tuesday night's match in the mountains really was and just how close the competitions with RSL have been for years. The last four regular season games between Minnesota and Salt Lake have all ended in draws, with the last Loons regulation win against Salt Lake coming back in July of 2022. Now, with Salt Lake's season on the line, they're sure to come in refocused and ready to fight. To catch all of the playoff action in person, get your tickets now at SeatGeek.com.
