Finally went to my first professional soccer match, and I was not disappointed. Me and a few other friends hit the Minnesota United game at the Metrodome against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, where they emerged victorious 2-1. I was impressed with the atmosphere in the dome and especially by the supporters section, who were vocal and loud the entire game. From several of the songs I heard they must have recruited several trumpeters from the University of Minnesota band. United was down early as the Strikers struck in the 13th minute after the MN keeper was unable to control a back pass and basically had it stolen from him for an easy tap in. United got several good chances in the first half but was unable to capitalize and entered the half down 1-0. In the second half they came out firing again. In the 57th minute Pablo Campos finally broke through for United as he put home a penalty kick. After a lull in the action the last 10 minutes became incredibly fast paced as both teams became stretched out and several very fast attacks went both ways. Finally, in the 94th minute Pablo Campos once again put home a goal for United on the end of a beautiful left-footed cross from a United teammate. Below I've posted my video of United's 1st goal!!
