Orange ball alert!

Minnesota United FC and New York Red Bulls didnā€™t have an ordinary Matchday 3 encounter at Allianz Field, instead meeting as a winter storm passes through the twin cities.

The snow-covered pitch was mostly cleared ahead of kickoff, leading to some memorable scenes for the Loonsā€™ 2023 home opener. Minnesota forward Bongokuhle Hlongwane and RBNY center back Andres Reyes traded goals off corner kicks in the 1-1 draw.
