HOUSTON DYNAMO (10-10-10; 40 pts.) vs. MINNESOTA UNITED FC (9-15-5; 32 pts.)Saturday, September 30, 2017 · 7:30 p.m. CDT · BBVA Compass Stadium · Houston, Texas

DYNAMO LOOKING FOR THREE POINTS AS THEY HOST MINNESOTA UNITED

The Houston Dynamo will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month on Saturday night with the club’s annual Noche Naranja game as they host Minnesota United FC. Around the stadium, fans will see and hear themat-ic elements that tie in to the cultures of the countries that many Dynamo players call home, including papel picado decorations; Latino and Tejano music; elotes, churros and raspas and other traditional snacks; and mariachi and folklorico performers.

On the pitch, the mood will be much more serious, as the Dynamo find themselves in need a the full three points tonight against Minnesota. Houston and Minnesota have played twice and drawn twice this year, so Saturday night will determine the season series between the two clubs, but a win for Houston would mean much more than simple bragging rights over their newest conference foes.

After their 3-3 draw with the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night, the Dynamo sit seventh in the Western Confer-ence on 40 points with a 10-10-10 record, one point below the Playoff Line. With just four games remaining

and just two points separating the four teams vying for two playoff spots, every point is crucial.

Fortunately for Houston, three of the final four are at BBVA Compass Stadium, where the team has posted a 9-1-4 mark and has outscored opponents 36-15. Of the four playoff contenders who are “on the line” – Houston, FC Dallas, Real Salt Lake and San Jose – only the Dynamo have three home games remaining. That home field advantage could be critical for La Naranja to reach their goal of a return to postseason play.

In Wednesday’s game, the Dynamo blew past the previous club single-season scoring record of 48 goals set in 2012. Forward Alberth Elis’ 88th-minute equalizer was the 50th of the year for the team, but more importantly it rescued a point. With a brace on Wednesday, Elis now has nine goals on the year, putting him one shy of becoming the sixth player in club history to bag 10 or more in a single season. Mauro Manotas is also sitting on nine goals and could hit double digits on Saturday. A goal for Erick Torres would give him 15 on the year, which would tie his career high from 2014.

Defensively the Dynamo will be looking to improve upon Wednesday’s performance, in which they conceded three goals off of quick LA Galaxy counterat-tacks and started each half slowly. In the midfield, the Dynamo will be without the services of Boniek García, and Juan David Cabezas’ status for Saturday night has not been determined after he left Wednesday’s game with a right leg injury. But with captain Ricardo Clark, 2016 team MVP Alex and the addition of Tomás Martínez to along with veteran Eric Alexander and rookie Joseph Holland, head coach Wilmer Cabrera is not lacking for options.

NOCHE NARANJA - A CELEBRATION OF HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

After Saturday's game, fans are encouraged to come back to BBVA Com-pass Stadium on Sunday morning to support and cheer on two very special groups of players.

The Dynamo Unified Special Olympics Team will host the Minnesota United FC Unified Team Sunday at 10 a.m. CDT, and admission is free.

Special Olympics Texas and the Houston Dynamo teamed up last year to launch the Dynamo Unified Team. In 2016, the Unified Team hosted one game, against Sporting Kansas City's Unified Team. This season, Dynamo Unified have played two games, including their first-ever away trip to Min-nesota earlier this year, and Sunday's game will be their third and final match of the season.

Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences, Unified teams join people with and without intel-lectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. Teams are made up of people of similar age and ability, which makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away.

DYNAMO TO WEAR "HOUSTON STRONG" ARMBANDS

The City of Houston and all of Southeast Texas was ravaged by the effects of Hurricane Harvey over the past week. After making landfall in Rockport, Texas on Saturday night, August 26, the storm poured millions of gallons of rain over the region, including as much as 51 inches in some areas of Houston, resulting in widespread flooding.

To show their support for the city and its people, every Dynamo player wore specially designed armbands featuring the Houston skyline with "HOUSTON STRONG" emblazoned on them during Houston's game against Colorado las Saturday.

Following the game, the armbands were auctioned off, with all proceeds going to benefit Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

HEAD COACH COMPARISON

HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH WILMER CABRERA

Wilmer Cabrera was named head coach of the Houston Dynamo on Octo-ber 28, 2016. Cabrera was previously the first head coach the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros, the Dynamo's hybrid USL affiliate. He also served time as a head coach and assistant coach in Major League Soccer and head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team.

A native of Colombia, Cabrera is bilingual in English and Spanish and was the first Latin American head coach at the helm of a U.S. national team. He served as head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team from October 2007 to January 2012 and compiled a 36-29-15 record, guid-ing the U.S. U-17s through two U-17 World Cup qualifying cycles ahead of the 2009 and 2011 FIFA U-17 FIFA World Cups, including progression to the Round of 16 at both tournaments. Cabrera also led his squad to a first-place finish at the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.

Cabrera began his MLS coaching career as assistant under current FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja for two seasons with the Colorado Rapids (2012-13) before he was head coach of Chivas USA in 2014, the club’s final season in MLS.

As the first head coach of Rio Grande Valley FC, Cabrera guided the expan-sion club to a record of 14-7-9 and second-place finish in the USL’s Western Conference. RGV FC had the best goal difference – plus 23 – in the Western Conference, and allowed just 24 goals, second-fewest in the 29-team USL, and fewest in the West. The Toros also led the conference with 16 shutouts and set a USL-record with a streak of 760 minutes without conceding a goal in July and August.

As a player, the former defender made 48 appearances for the Colombia National Team, including three starts at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, inclusion on the roster at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and a role at four Copa America tournaments (1989, ’91, ’95 and ’97). His 20-year professional playing ca-reer began at age 17 with Independiente Sante Fe in Colombia and includ-ed spells in Argentina and Costa Rica before a final stop in the United States with the Long Island Rough Riders.

Cabrera’s career in youth development began as an assistant coach with Suffolk (New York) Community College followed by a stint as coach with the BW Gottschee Academy in New York City.

MINNESOTA UNITED FC HEAD COACHADRIAN HEATH

Minnesota United announced in November, 2016 that Adrian Heath will be the club’s coach for the 2017 Major League Soccer season. Heath was most recently head coach of Orlando City and has over 20 years of managerial experience in the U.S. and England.

Hailing from Staffordshire, England, Heath enjoyed an 18 year profession-al soccer career before entering into coaching. The midfielder’s journey began with Stoke City and included a notable career at Everton where he scored 71 goals in 226 appearances, winning two league titles, an FA Cup as well as a UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup in 1985. In 1989 Heath went on to play for Espanyol in Spain, then returned to England to play for Manchester City, and Burnley – where he eventually transitioned into the role of play-er-manager in 1996.

The Englishman spent the next eleven years coaching in England for clubs such as Burnley, Sheffield United, and Coventry City, before a chance en-counter with Phil Rawlins brought him to the United States in 2008.

Rawlins, the former Stoke City director, met with Heath in his hometown of Newcastle-under-Lyme, where the two discussed Rawlins’ dream of setting up a football club in the U.S., and – serendipitously for Heath – Rawlins needed a manager.

Heath accepted the role and was named the head coach of the Austin Az-tex, Rawlins’ USL expansion franchise. The team spent two years in Austin, before relocating to Orlando in 2010, becoming Orlando City.

In just four years under Heath in its new city, Orlando City won two USL Pro championships, and three Commissioner’s Cups. The USL club under Heath also tallied two U.S. Open Cup victories over MLS opposition.

Orlando City launched into Major League Soccer in 2015, and Heath’s in-fluence helped build the club for a very successful inaugural MLS season. The club finished seventh in the Eastern Conference, falling just short of clinching a berth into the 2015 MLS playoffs.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET

HOUSTON (Wednesday, July 19, 2017) – The Houston Dynamo earned their third road point of the season and posted their fourth clean sheet of the year in a 0-0 draw with Minnesota United FC tonight at TCF Bank Stadium.

Houston controlled the first half and created multiple dangerous chances, but were unable to find a way to get the ball into the net, and goalkeeper Tyler Deric came up big with a flurry of late saves to preserve his second shutout of the year.

The Dynamo nearly netted the game-winner in the 83rd minute through a two-man counterattack with forwards Vicente Sánchez and Mauro Mano-tas. The two took off together from the midfield stripe and Sánchez played Manotas into space. The young Colombian returned the favor and then raced toward the goalmouth, where Sánchez played a low cross that elud-ed a sliding attempt by Manotas in the mouth of the goal.

Deric made a pair of crucial saves in the final minutes, first in the 89th minute when he charged off his line and made himself big to deny Minne-sota FW Christian Ramirez on a 50-50 ball at the six-yard box off of a float-ed cross. After Minnesota’s first corner kick of the match, an attempted clearance was collected by the Loons and sent back into the mixer. Then in stoppage time on another Minnesota corner, Deric fought his way through a Loons attacker to punch away another dangerous ball.

The Dynamo and Minnesota United finished the first half without a goal, but the Houston attack created multiple dangerous opportunities that each barely missed the net throughout the first 45 minutes. Forward Mauro Manotas had the first opportunity early in the first half when he cracked a right-footed shot from 23 yards in the fourth minute that was saved by goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth.

Shortly after, midfielder Alex sent a cross to the center of the box finding forward Andrew Wenger, but Wenger’s diving header flashed off the side of the net. In the 10th minute, Wenger provided a picture-perfect cross to Manotas, who turned his header wide of the left post.

Alex had two chances of his own, but wasn’t able to find the back of the net. In the 30th minute, he stole a ball from defender Brent Kallman and dribbled into the box. The Brazilian took a left-footed shot that was saved by Shuttleworth. He created another opportunity just before the halftime whistle when he collected a headed clearance, juggled the ball to himself and turned on a left-footed volley, but the shot whistled just wide of the near post.

Early in the second half, the Loons came out with increased energy and began to put the Dynamo into dangerous situations. In the 62nd minute, Loons midfielder Kevin Molino collected the ball in his own half and drib-bled past several Houston defenders. Molino ultimately got inside the box took a right-footed shot that beat Dynamo goalkeeper Tyler Deric, but was cleared off the line by defender A.J. DeLaGarza, who refused to give up on the play.

LAST GAME VS. LA GALAXY

HOUSTON (Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2017) – The Houston Dynamo rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the 84th minute to draw level with the LA Galaxy in a 3-3 contest at BBVA Compass Stadium this evening. Forward Alberth Elis led the furious comeback for the home side with a pair of goals in the last 10 minutes – his eighth and ninth of the season.

Elis’ first goal came in the 84th through a penalty kick. The 21-year-old Honduran ran onto loose ball inside the LA defensive third after forward Vi-cente Sánchez forced a turnover and dribbled into the penalty area before being dragged down by LA defender Hugo Arellano to earn the penalty. Moments later he stepped up to the spot and calmly placed his spot-kick into the lower left corner of the net.

Four minutes later, with the Dynamo surging forward in wave after wave of attacks, Elis headed home a corner kick from Sánchez to level the match. The goal leveled the match for the first time since the third minute of play and rescued a valuable point for Houston as they continue to push for a playoff spot.

Elis’ first goal of the evening was the team’s 49th of the year, breaking the club single-season scoring record of 48 goals set in 2012. His equalizer put Houston at 50 goals in a season for the first time in club history.

The visitors jumped out to an early lead through a Dynamo own goal in the third minute. Galaxy midfielder Romain Alessandrini played a cross in front of the Dynamo goal and Houston defender DaMarcus Beasley attempted to chest it back to goalkeeper Tyler Deric, but the pass caught Deric off guard and slipped past his outstretched arm into the back of the net.

LA doubled their lead in the 12th minute when defender Ashley Cole in-tercepted a pass at midfield and raced toward the Dynamo penalty area. He slid a pass through the Dynamo back line to Alessandrini, who fired a left-footed shot past Deric into the net.

The Dynamo pulled a goal back in the 26th minute through midfielder Tomás Martínez, who received a pass from defender A.J. DeLaGarza inside the penalty area, fended off two Galaxy defenders and slipped a left-footed shot past LA goalkeeper Clement Diop into the lower left corner of the net for his first goal with the club.

The Galaxy opened up the second half like they started the first – with a quick goal. In the 47th minute, defender Rafael Garcia picked up an er-rant pass at midfield and played direct to forward Giovani Dos Santos, who slipped a square pass into the path of forward Bradford Jamieson. Jamie-son slotted a right-footed shot past Deric for LA’s third goal of the night.

Houston generated a season-high 27 shots in the match, but only five on goal as they struggled to put the final ball on frame. It was Elis’ final two shots of the match that proved to be the difference, however.

ELIS GOALS = DYNAMO POINTS

With four games to go in the 2017 regular season, the Dynamo sit seventh in the Western Conference table on 40 points, one spot south of the Playoff Line.

However, they are only one point out of sixth and just two points shy of fifth. Eighth is only a point in the other direction. So to say that every point is critical may be the understatement of the season - not just for Houston, but for Real Salt Lake, FC Dallas and San Jose as well.

For the Dynamo, three of those four remaining contests will take place at BBVA Compass Stadium. Houston is the only team of the four with three home games left, which plays to their advantage.

Other clubs face closing stretches with more teams currently below the Playoff Line, which could point to a theoretically easier path.

THE (PLAYOFF) RACE IS ON!

17 & 19 NEARING DOUBLE DIGITS

Forwards Alberth Elis and Mauro Manotas have each found the net in the last two weeks, and each of them has helped the Dynamo rescue valuable points in back-to-back draws.

Manotas' goal at New York City FC on Sept. 23 gave him nine on the year and tied him with Stuart Holden for seventh on the club's all-time scoring list with 15 in his career. Elis' brace on Wednesday night gave him eight and nine as well.

They stand to become the sixth and/or seventh players in club history to score double-digit goals in a season.

BE QUICK, BUT DON'T HURRY

Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden used to tell his players, "Be quick, but don't hurry." For the players, it was a message meant to remind them to play with pace, but to always remain under control.

For the 2017 Houston Dynamo, the same phrase could hold true when it comes to the team's attacking philosophy. The Dynamo openly admit to not being a possession-oriented team, and their stats (44.6 percent aver-age possession, 20th in MLS) back that up.

However, despite not having much of the ball, La Naranja are sixth in the league in scoring. Houston averages a goal every 24.09 minutes of posses-sion, which is the second-lowest ratio of any team in the league.

BASKETBALL ON GRASS

In keeping with the basketball theme above, it's probably only fitting to describe parts of the Dynamo attack as "basketball on grass." If you don't possess the ball for much of the game, yet sit amongst the league leaders in goals scored, your attack must be moving at a pretty quick pace.

Opta Sports tracks "fast breaks" in Major League Soccer, and no team has produced more fast breaks this season than the Dynamo or been more successful in converting them.

Houston's 16 fast break opportunities are two greater than the next-most prolific team, and their five fast break goals are the most in the league as well.

MACHADO CLEARS THE DANGER

Houston Dynamo defender Adolfo Machado was one of the club's mar-quee offseason additions when he signed on a transfer from Deportivo Saprissa. So important was he to Saprissa that the Costa Rican giant was forced to hold an emergency press conference when news leaked out in order to address their fans' displeasure.

Machado has quickly established himself as a force in the Dynamo back line, showcasing the leadership and physical presence that made him so popular at his former club. He is the only player on the team to have been on the field for every minute of the 2017 season to date. He's also shown himself to be one of the toughest center backs in MLS throughout the sea-son.

Through 30 weeks of league play, Machado leads the league in number of total clearances with 181. His 181 clearances are nearly 30 greater than the next closest player.

Among the top 25 players in clearances, Machado's 75 interceptions are also the most in the league, his 78 headed clearances are second-most and his 41 tackles won are the fourth-most.

Dynamo defender Adolfo Machado is the only player on the Houston ros-ter to have played in every game this season. Not only that, the Panama international has played every minute of the season for the team.

Machado is one of just two field players in the league (NYC FC defnder Alex-ander Callens being the other) who has played every minute of the season for their clubs this season.

He's also on pace to tie the club single-season record for minutes played, which he would do if he manages to play every minute of every game this season. To date, goalkeeper Tally Hall is the only player to have done so in a 34-game season for the club.

CUBO BREAKS CLUB RECORD

FW Erick "Cubo" Torres banged home two goals in the span of 15 minutes to rescue Houston from a 3-1 deficit at FC Dallas on August 23 and rally the team to a 3-3 draw. In the process, he scored his 13th and 14th goals of the season, tying and then breaking the club single-season scoring record set by Brian Ching in 2008.

Torres is just the fifth player in Dynamo history to reach double digits in a season, and his next goal will tie his career high of 15 set in 2015 with Chivas USA.

His average of 0.66 goals per 90 minutes is the highest in Dynamo history, and he is on pace to finish with 17 goals if he were to hold that same pace and play all 90 minutes for the remaining five games of the year.

TORRES' GOLDEN FORM NETS CALL-UP

Dynamo forward Erick "Cubo" Torres is in the best form of his career this year, with 12 goals in 18 appearances. He's already within one goal of the club single-season scoring record set in 2008 by Brian Ching, and can put that mark, as well as his career high of 15 goals, in the rear-view mirror if he keeps it up.

That sensational form netted the 24-year-old a long-awaited call-up by the Mexican National Team for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Torres has rep-resented his country on the international stage several times at the youth level, including at the 2016 Rio Olympics, but the Gold Cup will be his first senior international tournament.

Torres started and went 90 minutes in Mexico's 0-0 draw with Jamaica on Thursday, July 13. Mexico topped Group C with a 2-0-1 record. Against Hon-duras in the Quarterfinals on Thursday night, Torres came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and helped Mexico see out a 1-0 win.

In Mexico's 0-1 semifinal loss to Jamaica at the Rose Bowl on Sunday night, Torres again got the start and went 45 minutes, picking up a yellow card for a hard tackle in the first half.

Torres now has seven caps for Mexico at the senior level with one goal - the game-winning strike in a friendly against Panama on Oct. 12, 2014.



PLAYING FROM AHEAD

The Houston Dynamo have made a habit of jumping out to early leads in 2017 and playing from ahead throughout the year. They have been in the lead for nearly 35 percent the time this season, and have led by two or more goals for nearly 15 percent of the time they've been on the field.

Conversely, they have only spent 714 minutes playing from behind, and just 289 minutes trailing by multiple goals.

THE ALL-IMPORTANT FIRST GOAL

The Houston Dynamo have been almost unbeatable at home this season, with a 9-1-3 record. One of the biggest keys to that success has been the Dynamo's ability to jump out to early leads at home.

In eight of Houston's 14 home games, the Dynamo have sccored inside of the first 20 minutes, and that proved to be a major factor in the team's lone road win, on July 22 at D.C. United, as the Dynamo bagged three goals inside of 20 minutes.

Furthermore, the Dynamo have now scored first in 13 of their 30 games, including 10 out of 14 times at home, and are now 9-0-4 when they do so.

For a team like the Dynamo that has been at its best on the counterattack, the importance of nabbing the first goal cannot be underestimated. It forc-es the opposition to chase the game and opens them up even further for more dangerous Dynamo counters.

For Dynamo fans, getting in your seat or tuning in early has never been more important, as you may miss the most important moment of the game if you're 15 minutes late.

GOTTA FINISH TO WIN IT

The 2017 season has been somewhat bipolar in regard to the Houston Dy-namo attack, and in particular, the team's ability to finish its chances.

At first glance, the Dynamo's 10-10-10 record would indicate a team squarely in the middle of the league's bell curve. However, a look into the numbers shows that the Dynamo have been one of the league's most dan-gerous teams throughout the year; the difference in their win-loss results has simply been in their finishing.

Houston has created 417 total shots this season, which ranks eighth in the league: 145 in 10 victories, 125 in 10 losses and 147 in 10 draws. But look-ing at goals is another matter: 31 in wins, just five in losses and 14 in draws. That means that the Dynamo average a goal for every 4.68 shots in wins but it takes a whopping 25 shots to generate each goal when they lose.

Dynamo fans will be hoping the boys put their shooting boots on when they take the field on Saturday night!

DYNAMO AWARDS IN 2017CLARK MOVING UP THE 300 CLUB

Houston Dynamo captain Ricardo Clark became just the 14th field player in the 21-year history of the league to start at least 300 regular-season games earlier this year; and he caught Chris Henderson (304) for 13th earlier this year vs. FC Dallas (6/23).

With seven games remaining in the season, Clark has a chance to crack the Top 10 - and pass current Dynamo assistant coach Davy Arnaud - by year's end. He is one start away from catching MLS legend Landon Donovan (315) and two shy of Arnaud and Pablo Mastroeni (316), who are tied for ninth all-time.

CABEZAS STRIKING THE RIGHT NOTES

When the Dynamo brought in Juan David Cabezas on loan from Colombian giants Deportivo Cali during the offseason, word on the 25-year-old mid-fielder was that he was expected to bring a ball-winning presence to the middle of the park for Houston. So far, he's been not only a ball winner, but also an adept distributor in possession.

With seven games remaining in the season, Cabezas leads the club in tack-les (93), tackles won (72) and passes attempted (991); and his 86.88 pass completion percentage is tops on the squad among players with at least 50 attempts. He also ranks third on the team in interceptions (48) and is tied for fourth in clearances (40).

DYNAMO 2017 SCHEDULE & RESULTS



ABOUT BBVA COMPASS STADIUM

BBVA Compass Stadium is a state-of-the-art, open-air stadium designed to host Houston Dynamo matches, Houston Dash matches and Tex-as Southern University football games as well as additional professional, collegiate and community sporting events, concerts, exhibitions, conventions and special events. Opened on May 12, 2012, the 340,000-square foot, 22,000-seat stadium is the first soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer located in a city’s downtown district.

An architecturally stunning building, the stadium features 94,000 square feet of aluminum panels on its exterior, giving it a modern and stylish appearance. Each of the panels is 50 percent open to improve air flow throughout the concourses. Canopies extend 75 feet over the stands on the east and west sides of the stadium, and a stage canopy extends 125 feet over the south end, providing shade to soccer fans and a built-in speaker setup for concerts. With its downtown location, the stadium is a part of a true ‘Stadium District,’ which includes Minute Maid Park and the Toyota Center, as well as the George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green, Warehouse Live and House of Blues.

BBVA Compass Stadium was awarded the LEED® Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in December 2012. The stadium has been identified as a pioneering example of new construction and sustainable design and is considered a leader in transforming the building industry.

Loons Try for Three in a Row Against HoustonMinnesota United FC heads on the road once again for a pair of matches down south, starting with Houston Dynamo on Saturday. MNUFC defeated the Dynamo’s Texan counterpart FC Dallas last Saturday and will try to make it three wins in a row as it visits the Lone Star State. Houston has struggled of late, while Minnesota is finding its groove as the season winds down. The Dynamo will have their work cut out for them trying to contain the multi-threat attack the Loons have assembled, but they have done well at that task in the previous two meetings. Both squads are still in the hunt for the playoffs, with Houston on the cusp of taking over that sixth seed. The two will be hungry for points as the race for the postseason heats up.

MNUFC Dominates Dallas in 4-1 VictoryMinnesota United FC managed to string together back-to-back wins for the first time this season when it defeated FC Dallas by a 4-1 margin. The visitors got in front in the opening minutes, but once again Minnesota battled back for three points. Christian Ramirez opened the scoring for the Loons, before assisting Miguel Ibarra’s eventual match-winner a few minutes later. Bobby Shuttleworth was critical to Minnesota United’s success once again, making a few clutch saves and stopping yet another penalty kick to keep his team in front. Ethan Finlay added another goal to his MNUFC total, assisted by Ramirez. Abu Danladi capped off the night with a breakaway goal in the closing minutes to secure three points for MNUFC.

• Last Saturday, Minnesota earned back-to-back wins for the first time since joining MLS. The Loons defeated Montreal Impact 3-2 on September 16 and then FC Dallas by a 4-1 margin on September 23.

• Christian Ramirez (2G/2A), Abu Danladi (2G), Ethan Finlay (1G/1A), Kevin Molino (1G/1A) and Ibson (2A) are all on two-match point streaks.

• Finlay is averaging one point per match with MNUFC, having scored three goals and assisted three more in his six matches with the club.

• Bobby Shuttleworth has saved penalty kicks in two consecutive matches. He is the first goalkeeper in MLS to save consecutive penalties since LA Galaxy’s Jon Kempin on August 23.

• Shuttleworth made six saves against FC Dallas, his highest single-match total since June 17 against Real Salt Lake, when he stopped eight shots.

• Minnesota tied its single-match record of four goals in a match for the third time this season against FC Dallas. It set a new club single-match record with five total assists.

• Minnesota is one of just six clubs not playing two matches this week. Houston hosted LA Galaxy on Wednesday night and came back to earn a 3-3 draw.

• Miguel Ibarra scored his second match-winning goal of the season against FC Dallas. His goal was nominated for MLS Goal of the Week.

• Ramirez and Shuttleworth were named to the MLS Team of the Week for Week 29.

• Four of Minnesota United’s five remaining regular season matches are on the road.

• Last match was just the third time that Minnesota kept the same lineup in consecutive matches this season.

• Minnesota has taken 10 points from its past five matches.

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPM I N N E S O TA U N I T E D N E W S A N D N O T E S

Loons String Together Consecutive WinsFor the first time since joining MLS, Minnesota United FC has won back-to-back matches. The Loons came back to win 3-2 versus Montreal Impact on September 16 before returning home to defeat FC Dallas 4-1 on Kick Childhood Cancer Night, September 23.

MNUFC has had unbeaten runs of two or three matches several times during the season, but had not yet claimed three points in consecutive matches. In the two victories, the Loons outscored their opponents 7-3, with Christian Ramirez and Abu Danladi scoring in both matches. Ethan Finlay, Kevin Molino and Miguel Ibarra rounded out the rest of the scoring.

MNUFC Players Streaking in AttackWith goals a plenty in its past two matches, Minnesota United FC has five players on point streaks heading into Saturday’s match in Houston.

Ramirez and Danladi are both on two-match goal streaks, with the former scoring the match-tying goal on both occasions. Danladi has been efficient with his time on the pitch and managed to find the net late in matches as a second-half substitute.

Ibson has continued to be a playmaking force for MNUFC. He is on an assist streak over the past two matches.

Molino and Finlay enter the mix with a goal and an assist apiece over the same stretch. Ramirez also falls into the points streak, as he has a pair of assists to complement his two goals.

MNUFC Unified Team TravelsMinnesota United FC Unified athletes will also travel to Houston this weekend to face the Dynamo Unified squad. The match will culminate in a commemorative medal ceremony for the athletes. The Unified teams played each other following the first-team game between Houston and Minnesota on July 19, but had to cut the meeting short due to severe weather.

Two Loons in MLS Team of the WeekA dominant performance on Saturday earned Minnesota United FC a 4-1 win over FC Dallas, with several standout performances for the home side. Two players, forward Ramirez and goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth, earned spots in the Week 29 edition of the MLS Team of the Week.

With a goal and two assists, Ramirez made his first appearance in the Team of the Week since Week 5. After scoring the opening goal, he assisted the match-winning strike, popping a looped ball into the path of Ibarra, who volleyed home a Goal of the Week contender just before halftime. The man known as “Superman” assisted Finlay in the second half with a first-touch pass that set up a perfectly placed shot toward the far post.

Shuttleworth makes the bench on the Team of the Week for the fourth time this season, his last appearance coming in Week 16. The goalkeeper made a match-changing save when he stopped a penalty kick in the second half, his second such save in as many matches. He made a total of six saves on the night, bringing his season total to 100, which included a reaction stop on a header in the opening minutes and a kick save in the second half to keep the Loons in front.

Adrian Heath on MNUFC’s Win Streak“We’ve won two in a row, let’s make it three. That has to be the next one. Next game up. We need to try and make this season continue as long as possible. Until it’s mathematically impossible for us to be out of the playoffs, we have to believe we can. And if we go and get a result away in Houston, then we’ll keep it going for another week. And that’s what we worked so hard for this weekend against another good team in Dallas.”

Heath on Houston’s Attacking Threat“Well, they’ve got [Erick] Cubo Torres, [Romell] Quioto, they’ve got Alberth Elis. You know, they’ve got [Mauro] Manotas. They’ve got an abundance of attacking pieces. You know, they paid a lot of money for their attacking pieces and that’s why they’ve had the results they’ve had with them –– scored a lot of goals, especially at home. So, whichever combination they come up with, we know we’re going to have our hands full. But, you know, we played them recently. We know what we’re aware of, we know what we’re capable of. So, as I say, we’ll be prepared for them. Big game for us.”

Three Consecutive SelloutsMinnesota United has been drawing fantastic crowds at TCF Bank Stadium this season, selling out the venue three matches in a row. Following the home opener where 35,043 fans watched Minnesota’s match against Atlanta, attendance has been steadily increasing. Over 340,000 fans have come through the gates during the inaugural season.

Finlay in FormMidfilder Finlay’s veteran presence has been a huge lift for the Loons late in the MLS regular season. Finlay came to Minnesota in August when both he and the club were struggling to find success. He scored in his first appearance at Seattle on August 20 and since then has become one of the best offensive weapons for the club, helping MNUFC back into winning form. He now has three goals and three assists in six appearances for MNUFC, guiding the team to a 3-2-1 record in that stretch and back into the playoff picture.

Burger Joins Academy StaffThe MNUFC Development Academy is bringing on Joe Burger as the Youth Programs Technical Coordinator. This puts Burger in charge of the revenue-producing arm of the Academy, including all camps and clinics. In this capacity, he’ll be creating curriculums and coming up with programming for the various youth programs that the Development Academy runs in and around the Twin Cities. He will also serve as a member of the Academy coaching staff.

Burger comes to the Development Academy after 23 years working at the college level, including time at three schools in the Missouri Valley conference and working as a coach at various levels from Junior College Division II up to Division I assistant. He holds an “A” License from U.S. Soccer and was most recently the assistant men’s soccer coach at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois.

Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 22 teams from across the United States and Canada.

After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The league’s first match was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 14 teams play in soccer-specific venues.

The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 matches during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and each team in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away matches. The remainder of the schedule is filled with matches against conference opponents. The top six teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The postseason begins with the third through sixth seeds in each conference playing in a knockout round. The winners advance to the conference semifinals to play the first and second seeds in the conference. In this round, the format switches to a two-match aggregate series, with the team scoring the most goals over the series moving on. The same format is used for the conference finals. The winner of the conference final moves on to face the other conference champion in the MLS Cup Final. The final is a single match, hosted by the team with the best record in the regular season, with the winner being declared MLS Cup Champion.

Anor signed with Minnesota ahead of its inaugural MLS season after joining the club on loan in 2016. The Venezuela-born midfielder arrived to the Loons from Sporting Kansas City and has played five total seasons in MLS (with Columbus Crew, Sporting KC and now MNUFC). He has unfortunately seen a number of injuries since a promising start to his original loan spell, sidelining him for much of the past few seasons.

Allen arrived on loan from New York Red Bulls on July 15. Before signing a Homegrown Player contract with New York in Dec. 2015, he was a three-time All-American, three-time All-Big East first-team member and MAC Hermann Trophy nominee at Georgetown, where he holds the record for highest-scoring player in school history (50 goals). Most recently, Allen led Red Bulls II to an Eastern Conference title in 2016, scoring 21 goals in 32 matches for the team.

At just 25 years old, Calvo has the potential to be a familiar name in Minnesota for years to come. Whether playing at center back or left back, the MNUFC captain does well to stretch the pitch and create imbalances in the attack. He’s a standout for club and country in defense and on set pieces, scoring for the Loons in a 2-2 comeback draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on June 24 and for Costa Rica in a 1-1 result against Canada on July 11. Calvo has started in 23 of 23 matches for MNUFC.

Burch is a 12-year MLS veteran with over 200 regular-season appearances. In 2016, he set career highs with Colorado Rapids in games started (27) and minutes played (2,443). Burch was named to the MLS Team of the Week in Week 3 of the 2017 season after tallying an assist in Colorado’s 2-2 draw with MNUFC. He has featured in the starting lineup twice since undergoing successful bi-lateral sports hernia surgery: the 3-2 win over Montreal Impact and the 4-1 victory vs. FC Dallas.

# 2 5 M I C H A E L B O X A L L | D E F E N D E RHeight: 6’2” Weight: 200 Birthdate: 8/18/1988 (29) Hometown: Auckland, New ZealandPrevious Club: SuperSport United Acquired: Signed 7/12/2017

New Zealand international Boxall joined MNUFC on July 12 after representing his country at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. He brings added MLS experience to Minnesota, having been selected first overall in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft by Vancouver Whitecaps FC ahead of their inaugural MLS campaign. Boxall made his MNUFC debut in the 3-0 loss to New York Red Bulls on July 22 and has since appeared as a starting right center back on eight other occasions.

# 1 9 S A M C R O N I N | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 165 Birthdate: 12/12/1986 (30) Hometown: Atlanta, GeorgiaPrevious Club: Colorado Rapids Acquired: Trade 3/31/2017

Cronin brings eight years of MLS experience to MNUFC in his holding-midfield role. He was selected second overall by Toronto FC in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, won the Supporters’ Shield with San Jose Earthquakes in 2012 and made his first MLS All-Star appearance as a member of Colorado Rapids in 2015. His addition to Adrian Heath’s starting XI has helped to solidify the defense; he has featured as a starter in 18 of 18 matches with the club. Cronin is currently recovering from injury.

At 6’2”, 24-year-old Greenspan is a towering, young presence in the Loons’ back line. Selected 26th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by Colorado Rapids, he arrived to MNUFC via a trade with his former club. The center back was loaned out to the USL’s Pittsburgh Riverhounds from April 10 until the end of May, where he played every minute of eight matches, making the Team of the Week twice and leading his side to four clean sheets. Greenspan made his MLS debut in a 1-0 loss to Crew SC. He is currently on loan with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in USL.

After six years with Columbus Crew SC, Finlay was traded to Minnesota for Targeted and General Allocation Money. The Minnesota-born midfielder had a breakout 2015 season that earned him a spot in the MLS All-Star Game and MLS Best XI. The former Creighton Bluejay has three caps with the U.S. national team. Finlay has contributed three goals and three assists in his six appearances with the club.

# 3 1 T H O M A S D E V I L L A R D I | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 6’1” Weight: 175 Birthdate: 3/27/1994 (23) Hometown: Vincennes, FrancePrevious Club: University of Delaware Acquired: SuperDraft (#42 Pick) 1/13/2017

De Villardi was selected No. 42 overall by MNUFC in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft. The France native had four goals and 16 assists in his college career, split evenly between Duquesne University and the University of Delaware. He was named to the All-CAA First Team during his junior year, with nine assists and two goals. De Villardi suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in March 2017, but is recovering excellently since successful surgery on March 29.

# 2 J U S T I N D A V I S | D E F E N D E RHeight: 6’0” Weight: 175 Birthdate: 5/6/1988 (29) Hometown: Novi, MichiganPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 12/1/2016

Davis has spent his entire professional career with the Loons since joining in 2011. He was one of the club’s first two signings in MLS alongside his long-time defensive partner Kevin Venegas, both of whom shone in NASL competition. The left back helped Minnesota to an NASL Soccer Bowl Championship in 2011 and has numerous NASL Best XI selections to his name. Davis played a full 90 in the 1-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC on July 4 and the 0-0 draw with Houston Dynamo on July 19.

# 5 V A D I M D E M I D O V | D E F E N D E RHeight: 6’1” Weight: 176 Birthdate: 10/10/1986 (30) Hometown: Riga, LatviaPrevious Club: SK Brann Acquired: Signed 1/10/2017

Norway international Demidov has had a successful career playing in Europe’s top leagues and on the international stage. The 30-year-old is a strong option at central defense and isn’t afraid to throw his weight around to disrupt opponents. He’s also an aerial threat off set pieces, using his height to soar above defenders. Demidov has seen the field 16 times for Norway, including minutes in European Championship qualifying.

# 9 A B U D A N L A D I | F O R W A R DHeight: 5’10” Weight: 170 Birthdate: 10/18/1995 (21) Hometown: Takoradi, GhanaPrevious Club: UCLA Acquired: SuperDraft (#1 Pick) 1/13/2017

Danladi was selected No. 1 overall by MNUFC in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft following a highly successful career at UCLA. While there, the forward racked up a handful of Freshman of the Year awards and Pac-12 All-Conference teams, and was in the running for the MAC Hermann Trophy. He has been bright in his appearances for the Loons so far, most notably scoring both goals in Minnesota’s 2-1 win at Chicago Fire on August 26 and the winner in the 3-2 result over the Montreal Impact.

Kallman has spent his entire professional career with Minnesota United after first joining the club in 2013. He was an unused substitute in the Loons’ first two MLS games, but has since featuring in the starting lineup for 21 of 21 matches, taking on a tremendous amount of leadership and earning high praise from Heath, who described the center back’s performances this season as “excellent” on July 18, adding that “there’s not many [players]” he would swap out for Kallman in MLS.

# 3 2 A L E X K A P P | G O A L K E E P E RHeight: 6’0” Weight: 190 Birthdate: 10/18/1994 (22) Hometown: Somers, New YorkPrevious Club: Atlanta United FC Acquired: Signed off Waivers 8/8/2017

Kapp was signed by Minnesota off waivers on August 8. The goalkeeper featured for Boston College from 2012-15 and Creighton University as a graduate student in 2016. He accumulated 62 collegiate matches and made more than 200 saves during his time in the ACC and Big East. Kapp was selected 68th overall by Atlanta United FC in the fourth round of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft. He recently returned from a brief loan spell with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in USL.

# 1 5 I S M A I L A J O M E | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 6’1” Weight: 160 Birthdate: 11/4/1994 (22) Hometown: Brooklyn Park, MinnesotaPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 2/24/2017

Minnesota native Jome first joined the Loons in 2016, making nine appearances and scoring on his professional debut. A former Minnesota Mr. Soccer, he has primarily played as a winger and, most recently, left wing back for MNUFC, using his rapid acceleration and footwork to create spaces down the flanks. After beginning the season as an unused substitute, Jome made three substitute appearances before getting his first MLS start in the 1-0 win over Orlando City SC on May 27.

# 7 I B S O N | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 168 Birthdate: 11/7/1983 (33) Hometown: Sao Goncalo, BrazilPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 1/23/2017

Ibson first signed with the Loons in 2015. He’s proven a quietly exceptional possession player with excellent control in tight spaces. His ability to beat defenders with technical footwork helps to open up space for teammates and create chances farther down the pitch. The Brazilian has started 24 of 26 games for MNUFC so far this season and is among the players with the most touches and tackles per 90 minutes in MLS. He has contributed assists in consecutive games for the Loons.

# 1 0 M I G U E L I B A R R A | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’4” Weight: 145 Birthdate: 3/15/1990 (27) Hometown: Lancaster, CaliforniaPrevious Club: Club Leon Acquired: Transfer 1/7/2017

Ibarra returned to Minnesota after a year and a half with Club Leon in Liga MX. During his earlier tenure with MNUFC (2012-2015), he earned a pair of NASL Best XI appearances, a Golden Ball Award (MVP) and was the first U.S. lower-division player to be called up to the U.S. national team since 2005. The midfielder has featured in 25 MLS games for the Loons, starting 18 times. He scored the winner against Colorado Rapids on April 23, capped off the Loons’ 4-0 win over D.C. on July 29 with a stoppage-time goal and struck a beautiful volley in the 4-1 win over FC Dallas on September 23.

# 7 7 J O S E L E I T O N | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’9” Weight: 158 Birthdate: 8/6/1993 (24) Hometown: San Jose, Costa RicaPrevious Club: C.S. Herediano Acquired: Loan 8/10/2017

Leiton comes to Minnesota on loan from Costa Rican side C.S. Herediano. He made a tremendous impact for Herediano last season in the Campeonato de Verano 2017 (Summer Championship), helping the team to its 26th title with his pace, creativity and ability to unbalance opposing defenses from the left wing. He then made his senior national team debut for Costa Rica in the semifinals of the Gold Cup on July 22, coming off the bench in a 2-0 loss to the United States. He made his club debut on September 9 against Philadelphia Union as a second-half substitute.

Ramirez was one of the Loons most valuable players during his NASL career and his debut MLS campaign has been no different. The forward has 13 goals in 25 MLS appearances, scoring the winner against Orlando City SC on May 27 and a second-half brace in the 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake on April 1 among other impressive performances. “Superman,” as he is fondly nicknamed, has been one of the revelations of the MLS season so far and carries Minnesota’s goalscoring load.

# 1 8 K E V I N M O L I N O | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’8” Weight: 155 Birthdate: 6/17/1990 (27) Hometown: Carenage, Trinidad and TobagoPrevious Club: Orlando City SC Acquired: Trade 1/26/2017

Molino was Orlando City SC’s first MLS signing and rejoined forces with former coach Heath when he moved to MNUFC in a major inter-league trade on Jan. 26. He’s a strong, technical player through the midfield and can dribble past defenders to create opportunities in front of goal. Molino has started 26 of 26 league matches for Minnesota, with a tally of six goals and eight assists. He scored his sixth goal by converting a penalty kick against Montreal Impact on September 16.

Nicholson became MNUFC’s first signing of the summer on June 28. The 22-year-old joined the Loons from Hearts after playing a major role in the club’s promotion to the Scottish Premiership, scoring a career-high five goals and adding six assists. He played nearly every match in Hearts’ return to the top flight, guiding them to a spot in the Europa League. Nicholson now has his eyes set on success stateside and has featured in eight matches and started in seven for the Loons.

A young, creative midfielder, Martin has featured off the bench and in U.S. Open Cup and friendly action for the Loons since joining via a trade with D.C. United in January. He has represented the United States at U14, U15 and U17 levels and was the only high-school junior to train with the U20 squad in January 2012. Martin made his first MLS start with Minnesota in the 3-0 loss to New York Red Bulls on July 22. Recently, he’s featured in the first XI on two occasions (vs. Montreal, FC Dallas).

McLain has been a bit of a journeyman in his career, getting the majority of his playing time in USL. The Eau Claire native played his college soccer for Cal Poly, where he earned All-Big West honors and set a school record with his 0.835 save percentage. He has yet to feature in MLS play for Minnesota, but saw minutes in the U.S. Open Cup defeat to Sporting Kansas City on June 14 and kept Atlas FC scoreless after being subbed on for the second half of the 1-1 friendly draw.

Schuller is an active member of the Finland national team and joined Minnesota United FC after playing in the top leagues of his home country and Sweden. He has a deft touch from defensive midfield and is not afraid to make forays forward, but was limited to seven league appearances (four starts) due to injuries over the first half of the 2017 campaign. Schuller is currently on loan with HJK in Finland.

Venegas has excelled with MNUFC over his five years with the club as both a midfielder and a defender. He’s one of the most physically fit players in the squad and brings a special flair to the field, with a knack for beating defenders with his footwork when going forward. His box-to-box play as a right back earned him a spot in the 2015 NASL Best XI. This season, he’s slotted into the starting XI seamlessly on six occasions.

# 1 1 J O H A N V E N E G A S | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 6’0” Weight: 168 Birthdate: 11/27/1988 (28) Hometown: Puerto Limón, Costa RicaPrevious Club: Montreal Impact Acquired: Trade 1/13/2016

Venegas often featured on the wing for Montreal Impact, showing pace, flair and technique as one of the club’s most dangerous attacking players off the bench. With MNUFC, the Costa Rica international has started 12 of 19 MLS matches, scoring in the 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake and the equalizer at Houston Dynamo. He was in and out of the side due to his participation in the Gold Cup with Los Ticos, but returned as a substitute in the 4-0 victory over D.C. United on July 29.

# 3 J E R O M E T H I E S S O N | D E F E N D E RHeight: 5’9” Weight: 155 Birthdate: 8/6/1987 (30) Hometown: Zurich, SwitzerlandPrevious Club: FC Luzern Acquired: Signed 2/21/2017

Thiesson spent the past six seasons in the Swiss Super League, where he started 204 of 222 matches in league play, scoring two goals. Since joining MNUFC, the Swiss native has been a mainstay in the back line, proving pivotal with his ability to play at left or right back. In addition to his defensive contributions, Thiesson has scored one goal for the Loons this season: the equalizer in the 2-2 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on June 24. He made the MLS Team of the Week for Week 21.

Jamaica international Taylor had six years of MLS experience prior to joining MNUFC, featuring for Houston Dynamo (2011-15) and most recently Portland Timbers (2016), where he started 21 of 23 matches. He is a strong and experienced defender who is not afraid to lay into his opponents despite standing at just 5’10”. Taylor has made over 80 appearances for Jamaica, including six starts (three clean sheets) during the Gold Cup in July.

Shuttleworth spent eight seasons with the New England Revolution from 2009-2016, totaling 127 appearances, 124 starts, 34 shutouts, 344 saves and a 46-53-28 regular-season record. He anchored the squad during its run to the 2014 MLS Cup, tying the club record with 16 wins. Since joining Minnesota on February 15, Shuttleworth has made the MLS Team of the Week four times (Week 8, 10, 16 and 29). He is also second in the league for saves, with a tally of 100.

# 2 6 C O L L E N W A R N E R | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 178 Birthdate: 6/24/1988 (28) Hometown: Denver, ColoradoPrevious Club: Houston Dynamo Acquired: Expansion Draft (#4 pick) 12/13/2016

Warner is a box-to-box midfielder who can cover ground and protect his attacking players. He brings great MLS experience to MNUFC; Drafted 15th overall by Real Salt Lake in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, Warner appeared off and on with RSL before being taken by Montreal in the 2011 expansion draft. He played the 2016 season with the Houston Dynamo. Appearing as a starter and substitute this year, Warner has one goal to his name, in the 5-2 loss to New England Revolution on March 25.

Heath was appointed head coach in Nov. 2016. After playing over 18 years in Europe, Heath spent the next 11 years coaching in England for clubs such as Burnley, Sheffield United and Coventry City before coming to the United States in 2008. The Englishman was named head coach of the USL expansion side Austin Aztex. The team spent two years in Austin before relocating to Orlando in 2010, to become Orlando City. In just four years under Heath, Orlando City won two USL Pro championships and three Commissioner’s Cups. The club joined MLS in 2015, and Heath’s influence helped build the team for a very successful inaugural season, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.

Watson, a former Canada national team defender and assistant coach, brings a wealth of MLS experience to MNUFC, having played for teams including Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps and D.C. United. Additionally, Watson managed the San Jose Earthquakes before joining Orlando City as an assistant under Heath in 2014.

He was named interim head coach in June 2013 and closed the season with the best record in MLS at 11-5-3. In addition to his MLS experience, Watson previously served as assistant coach with the Canada men’s national U20 and senior teams, as well as several years as an assistant with the USL PRO Charleston Battery.
