Minnesota United vs. Austin FC | Full Match Highlights

JUNE 23 • YOUTUBE

Hassani Dotson - Sees red Saturday Dotson was shown a red card and sent off during Saturday's clash with Austin.

Impact Dotson was sent off in the first half, making it just 26 minutes before being handed his marching orders. The midfielder has been a stalwart in the midfield and is obviously a major blow in the starting XI. Dotson will be suspended for the Saturday trip to Portland, and potentially longer.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane - Logs assist and goal Hlongwane logged one assist and one goal with seven shots and two chances created during Minnesota United's 5-3 loss Wednesday at Dallas.

Impact Hlongwane has been on fire as a playmaker, logging an assist during all but one of his four appearances across June. Perhaps more importantly, after going one whole month without any goals, he finally scored one Wednesday to get back in form as a scorer.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Joseph Rosales - Assist immediately after suspension Rosales logged one assist with six crosses (three accurate), seven corners and six chances created during Minnesota United's 5-3 loss Wednesday at Dallas.

Impact One game after serving his suspension, Rosales logged the assist to a goal scored by Bongokuhle Hlongwane. The wing back will look to replicate his form from just a bit before his suspension, a span of appearances that saw him record one assist across four straight games.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Hassani Dotson - Logs another goal Dotson scored one goal with four shots (one on goal) during Minnesota United's 5-3 loss Wednesday at Dallas.

Impact While his upside in the attacking third has been and will not be relatively high as a central midfielder, Dotson continues to make his few scoring chances count. He has two goals across his three games started in June. With three goals across seven appearances since late-April, Dotson has already equaled his scoring tally from the 2023 MLS season.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Wil Trapp - Rare goal Wednesday Trapp scored one goal with three shots (one on goal) during Minnesota United's 5-3 loss Wednesday at Dallas.

Impact After logging his first 2024 DNP on Sunday, likely because Minnesota's team must play thrice across six days, Trapp was added back to its starting XI at Dallas. He rewarded the addition by recording his first goal since 2021.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Clint Irwin - Five goals conceded Irwin logged four saves but conceded five goals during Minnesota United's 5-3 loss Wednesday at Dallas.

Impact As expected, Irwin continued to be Minnesota's goalkeeper while Dayne St. Clair is at the Copa America. Unfortunately for the backup, he has performed worse with each passing game, resulting in a span of matchups featuring him conceding eight goals and logging only nine saves. Irwin will try to redeem himself Saturday against Austin FC.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Moses Nyeman - Returning for Minnesota Nyeman has served his one match suspension and is set to be an option for Saturday's match against Austin.

Impact Nyeman has only made three appearances for Minnesota, limiting his playing time with the senior team since joining the side from Real Salt Lake. He will continue to be used off the bench as the midfielder will need to work on his form in order for more playing time in MLS.

D.J. Taylor - In squad Wednesday Taylor (leg) is available as a substitute option for Wednesday's match against FC Dallas.

Impact Taylor was excluded from the previous two games due to the injury but recovered in time for the midweek clash. He could be a moderate threat on the right wing, from which he previously delivered 22 crosses in 15 appearances. His eventual inclusion may limit Caden Clark's involvement going forward.

JUNE 19 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Lod - Two shots vs Seattle Lod had two crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Lod had already surpassed his assist total of his career with eight in 15 matches, adding on to his five goals. He's also generated two goals with three assists in the last eight matches, starting seven times in that span.

JUNE 19 • ROTOWIRE

Kervin Arriaga - Makes one shot Arriaga registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Arriaga was back in the lineup for Minnesota following his stint with the Honduran national team. He's been able to get consistent starts in the lineup with eight starts in the last nine matches, scoring three goals at center back while totaling 33 clearances and 14 tackles.

Joseph Rosales - Suspension over Rosales completed his one-game suspension and is eligible to face Dallas on Wednesday.

Impact Rosales missed the loss to the Sounders due to a yellow-card accumulation, and he's set to return from a two-game absence, as he also missed the draw against FC Dallas on June 9 due to international duty. Rosales has been a steady presence on the left side of Minnesota's defense and should return to the starting lineup right away in Wednesday's contest.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Sang-bin Jeong - Attempts five crosses Sang-Bin Jeong recorded five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact San-Bin Jeong led Minnesota with five attempted crosses (two accurate) Saturday, continuing his recent trend of driving the ball into the box. Over his last three appearances (three starts) San-Bin Jeong has attempted 20 crosses (five accurate) and taken 10 corners while registering seven chances created. Overall, he has scored three goals over 15 appearances (14 starts) and has yet to deliver an assist.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Clint Irwin - Concedes twice in loss Irwin registered two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Irwin was called upon to wear the gloves for Minnesota for the second successive match, with first-choice keeper Dayne St. Clair serving on international duty with Canada. The two matches mark the totality of Irwin's inclusion thus far in 2024. He's conceded three goals and registered five saves. Irwin will likely be in net Wednesday as Minnesota look to bounce back against Dallas who are tied for the fourth worst scoring record in MLS, having netted 20 goals through 17 matches.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Moses Nyeman - Sent off late Nyeman was shown a red card in the second half of Saturday's match against Seattle.

Impact Nyeman entered the match in the 68th minute and was shown a straight red card following a VAR review in the 90th. The defender will miss mid week action at Dallas through suspension.

Devin Padelford - Forced off with concussion Padelford was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against LA Galaxy with a concussion.

Impact Padelford left the match after just seven minutes being replaced by Jordan Adebayo-Smith. The defender's status for mid week action against Dallas is in doubt as he'll go through concussion protocol in the buildup.

Teemu Pukki - Out for three weeks Pukki will be out for the next three weeks after suffering a knee injury, according to manager Eric Ramsey, per MNUFC News.

Impact Pukki is set to miss a decent chunk of time after appearing to have suffered a knee injury in training. This will be a tough loss for the club, as their other starting striker, Tani Oluwaseyi, is out on International duty with Canada, likely forcing Jordan Adebayo-Smith to gain the starts up top. Pukki should be expected to return around the end of June or the start of July, as long as he doesn't encounter any setbacks.
