Lod scored in the 34th minute and Minnesota United took a 1-0 lead into halftime.

Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver made several acrobatic and challenging saves to keep the Loons off the board for as long as he could, but continued defensive setbacks and miscues finally caught up to Verde when Robin Lod scored in the 34th minute. It was a goal that felt like could have come at any point of the first half given how much time Minnesota spent on Austin's end of the field.

Reynoso picked up his sixth goal of the season 10 minutes later, scoring unassisted for a 2-0 lead.

Stefan Frei had a save on Minnesota United's only shot on goal to maintain the lead at halftime.
