Gazdag cashed in the Union’s first big scoring chance of the game, getting the last touch on a Kai Wagner corner kick at the far post. Jack Elliott claimed the assist with a redirection in the crowd.
Minnesota then made a double-substitution, and play resumed with the clock reading 83:08. A mere 13 seconds after that, the Union had their second goal. Between Blake’s injury, the VAR review, and other matters, there ended up being 10 minutes of second-half stoppage time.

One came in the 53rd minute, when a Wagner corner kick was cleared straight to the Union’s Quinn Sullivan just outside the 18-yard box.
With the lockout of top-level unionized referees now over, this part of game stories can now be retired. Sergii Boyko took charge of what was the first game league wide since the lockout ended. He called 20 fouls, eight on the Union and 12 on Minnesota, and didn’t give out a yellow card until booking José Andrés Martínez in the 64th minute for dissent.
