Minnesota United FC News Release
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. -- Minnesota United FC heads west to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at PayPal Park in San Jose, California. The match is scheduled to kick off at 9:30 p.m. CT.
Minnesota opened the 2025 campaign with a road loss but last week bounced back with a strong performance in their second match, securing a 1-0 victory over CF Montréal. The Loons will strive to maintain their momentum in what promises to be a challenging away clash against the San Jose Earthquakes team. With a mix of returning stars and new additions, Minnesota's attack is still finding its rhythm.
The Earthquakes have started the 2025 MLS season with a strong performance, securing back-to-back victories. They opened their campaign with a commanding 4-0 home win over Real Salt Lake, marking their largest season-opening victory in club history. Following this, San Jose defeated Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on March 1, with forward Josef Martínez contributing a goal and an assist.
In recent encounters, Minnesota United has had the upper hand, winning three of the last six meetings against the Quakes. However, with San Jose's strong early-season form and home-field advantage, this matchup promises to be a competitive match.
