Loons to celebrate decade in MLS with Atlanta United rematch
Roughly 15,000 fans will get a commemorative poster as the Loons honor former players and Adrian Heath before the anniversary match.
- Minnesota United hosts Atlanta United at Allianz FieldStream on Wednesday for a 10-year anniversary match, with both clubs marking their shared MLS entry in 2017. Roughly 15,000 fans will receive commemorative posters.
- Flashback to 2017, when Atlanta defeated Minnesota 6-1 in the Loons' first home game at TCF Bank Stadium. MNUFC holds a 2-0-4 record against the Five Stripes in MLS play, including a 2019 Open Cup final loss.
- MNUFC is winless in eight matches after a draw on Saturday, while Atlanta snapped a seven-match skid with a 2-1 win last weekend. Head coach Cameron Knowles faces squad absences, with Peter Stroud out and Nectar Triantis and Nico Romero questionable.
- Russian attacker Aleksei Miranchuk leads Atlanta with 10 goal contributions, while newcomer Marcus Caldeira is poised for a bigger role for the Loons. Aziel Jackson, who signed last week, is expected to be on the game-day roster.
- Head coach Cameron Knowles said, "The history of the club, dating back to the Kicks in the 1970s... it's a storied history of soccer in Minnesota." Alumni will gather on the Great Lawn before the match to meet fans.
