San Diego FC v Minnesota United: 'Undeniably the decisive game of the year', says Ramsay - beIN Sports
Minnesota United head coach Eric Ramsay has labelled their upcoming clash against San Diego FC as "the decisive game of the year".
With just five regular-season matches to go, Minnesota trail Western Conference leaders San Diego by just five points heading into this match.
Both teams enter this game in similar form, each winning two of their last three matches and drawing the other, but San Diego are unbeaten in their previous six MLS fixtures.

It has been a dream inaugural season for San Diego FC, and their schedule to wrap up their remaining match is on the friendlier side as well. Head coach Mikey Varas will continue to rely on MLS MVP frontrunner Anders Dreyer and Hirving “Chucky” Lozano for the attacking success. Yet, they are far more than just two superstars, assembling one of the most well-balanced teams in the Western Conference.
They are getting teams at the perfect time too, taking on a Minnesota United side that just sold their first-choice striker in Tani Oluwaseyi, and then facing very beatable Atlanta United, San Jose Earthquakes, Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers.
