Despite Minnesota's higher team rate (0.613 vs 0.336) and pre-game win probability, Colorado defied the odds. The game wasn't expected to be balanced according to AI.
Minnesota dominated possession with 60.2%, registering 23 total shots compared to Colorado's 12. However, Colorado's goalkeeper proved decisive, making 9 saves. Minnesota only forced 3 saves from the Colorado keeper. Darren Yapi scored twice for Colorado in the 60th and 70th minutes. Tani Oluwaseyi scored for Minnesota in the 73rd minute, but it wasn't enough.
Minnesota lined up in a 5-3-2 formation, while Colorado utilized a 3-4-3. Minnesota's previous match was a 0-2 loss against Atletico de San Luis in the Leagues Cup. Colorado drew 2-2 with Cruz Azul in their previous Leagues Cup match. Minnesota's recent form has been inconsistent, with a mix of wins, losses, and draws. Colorado has also been struggling for consistency.
Looking ahead, Minnesota faces Seattle Sounders FC next, while Colorado takes on Atlanta United FC. Considering both teams' current form and the upcoming matches, Minnesota needs to improve their finishing. Colorado will be looking to build on this unexpected victory.
Minnesota's recent matches show a struggle for clean sheets. Colorado's defense has also been leaky recently. The last head-to-head game favored Minnesota.
