Blaine, MN – Minnesota United FC won its third straight match on Saturday night, knocking off fellow Spring Season Championship contenders Jacksonville Armada FC, 3-2, at a sold-out NSC Stadium.
Goals from Pablo Campos and Tiago Calvano had the Loons up a pair midway through the second half, but Jacksonville didn't go down without a fight. Pascal Millien cut the Minnesota lead in half to make it 2-1, and after Miguel Ibarra found the net for the Loons, a goal from Armada FC's Jemal Johnson set the stage for a nervy finish.
