MLS: Pereyra’s brace keeps Minnesota alive in the West

Minnesota strikes twice before halftime

LAFC took 22 shots and put seven on target. Minnesota United took six and won 3-1 anyway. Joaquin Pereyra scored in the 29th minute, Cherrion Valerius doubled the lead within about five minutes, and Pereyra added his second in the 80th.

Drake Callender made six saves. LAFC did not score until Sergio Vasquez found the net in the 90th minute, far too late to matter.

Let’s do it

One more game, and some help needed

Minnesota improved to 10-12-11 with 41 points and has gone 3-0-3 over its last six. It sits two points behind both Seattle and Colorado for the last Western Conference playoff spot. The route is narrow: beat San Jose at home on Decision Day on Saturday, and hope the Sounders and Rapids both lose.

LAFC stands at 12-10-11 with 47 points. Its four-match unbeaten run is over, but the club had already clinched a postseason berth.
