Four Minnesota United players participated in World Cup Qualifying action over the past five days. Catch up with your Loons with this recap of their performances on the global stage.
Rasmus Schuller | Finland
Schuller was in the squad for Finland’s qualifying match against Turkey and international friendly against Austria. However, he did not get time in either match as Finland lost 2-0 to Turkey and drew 1-1 with Austria.
Kevin Molino | Trinidad and Tobago
Molino played a huge role in the Soca Warriors’ first match against Panama, scoring the lone goal to claim three vital points at home. He had to be subbed off in the second half due to cramps, but was back training with the team after the match. He started once again against Mexico on Tuesday and earned a yellow in the 1-0 loss during a full 90-minute shift.
Johan Venegas | Costa Rica
Venegas and the Ticos had a tough match in Mexico to start the international break. He started the match and put in an 80-minute shift before being subbed off in the 2-0 road loss. He returned home for the birth of his child, and was not in the squad for Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Honduras.
Francisco Calvo | Costa Rica
Calvo was the centerpiece of the Ticos back line against Mexico. He went the full 90 minutes in Azteca, as Costa Rica fell 2-0 to Mexico. He was on the bench Tuesday night in Honduras as Costa Rica pulled out a 1-1 draw on the road.
