Ex-Loon Kei Kamara strikes again to foil Minnesota United in Leagues Cup group stage match

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 14:42:56 GMT

Bongokuhle Hlongwane did his best to put Minnesota United atop its Leagues Cup group, but a porous second-half defense doomed the Loons to a 3-2 loss to Chicago on Thursday night at Allianz Field.“I thought we had the game in our hands,” said Hlongwane, “but we couldn’t protect what we had.”After a sedate first hour of the match, Minnesota and Chicago combined for five goals in 21 minutes, with the final goal immediately preceding a 34-minute weather delay — lightning-fast scoring, followed by actual lightning.The loss puts Minnesota and Chicago level at the top of their group, with both teams on three points. That said, there’s no scenario in which the Loons would not go through to the knockout round, thanks to tiebreakers — but it remains to be determined in what place they might finish.If Minnesota wins the group, it would automatically host a knockout-round match. If they finish second, they could play either at home or on the road. Minnesota won’t know until Monday’s game betwe...

Thomas Rhett has quietly become one of the biggest stars in country and his performance Thursday night at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center proved how he pulled it off.For 90 minutes, the 33-year-old son of ’90s country act Rhett Akins had the entire capacity crowd in the palm of his hand and offered a set list stuffed with familiar hits. Both in concert and in interviews, Rhett comes across as an affable, cheery and approachable guy free from even a hint of ego or controversy.A grinning Rhett opened by playing a drum kit that slowly emerged from beneath the stage. His custom bomber jacket with “St. Paul” emblazoned on the back had the crowd cheering, as did the one-two punch of his opening songs “Vacation” and “Look What God Gave Her.” From there, he worked in as many hits as he could, from “Marry Me” to “Make Me Wanna” to “What’s Your Country Song.” Rhett’s voice is nothing special, but his enthusiasm helps sell everything fr...
