Game Central
MNUFC2 are back in Minnesota and on a mission to secure three points this Sunday against Houston Dynamo 2. The two sides have met three times, and if the past is any indication, Sunday's match should be a tight one. In their first meeting, the Twosies came out on top in the PK shootout after the game ended in a 1-1 draw. The Loons fell to the Dynamo in two other competitive meetings, with both games ending with a 1-0 scoreline favoring Houston. Currently, the Dynamo sit five spots above MNUFC2 in the Western Conference standings, but they only have three more points than the Loons. With the opportunity to make a big move up the table on the line, the Twosies will need to come to NSC ready to take on a tough opponent. Sunday's game will be a special one, with appearances from select first team players and a merch truck on site, so make sure to purchase your tickets today at SeatGeek.com to join in on all the fun. For those who can't make it out to Blaine, the Apple TV MLS Season Pass has you covered. For more information on how to navigate the National Sports Center, read the matchday info below.
