Minnesota United's inclusion in Leagues Cup includes two more matches over the next week, but the Loons were all but eliminated after its first match Tuesday.
At least seven points were necessary for MLS teams to advance in the 2025 edition of the tournament with Mexico's Liga MX, and Minnesota can only reach six after a 2-1 loss to FC Juarez at Allianz Field.
Juarez looked like the tonic Minnesota needed amid a seven-game winless lull in MLS play. Juarez had suffered three straight losses to begin its Liga MX season and fired its head coach Pedro Caixinha on Sunday.
Interim Juarez coach Salvador Valero's side took advantage of Minnesota's poor defending in the first half to take a 2-1 lead.
Minnesota didn't close down on left wing Jose Luis Rodriguez in the attacking third in the 22nd minute. All that time and ****** e allowed him to send in a bouncing cross bounced in the box and as Guilherme Castilho got behind Devin Padelford for a header goal.
