Oluwaseyi’s stoppage-time goal gives Minnesota United 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew
MINNEAPOLIS — Tani Oluwaseyi’s goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time gained Minnesota United a 1-1 tie with Columbus Crew on Saturday.
Oluwaseyi rushed to a loose ball outside the right side of the goal box and scored with a left-footed shot past goalie Patrick Schulte into the top left corner to get the equalizer for Minnesota (1-0-1) against defending champ Columbus (1-0-1).
MLS Cup MVP Cucho Hernández, who had the Crew’s goal in a 1-0 season-opening win over Atlanta, scored off an assist from Yaw Yeboah, with his center-on shot from just outside the box going into the bottom left corner of the net. Hernández has a goal contribution in 10 straight matches, including last season’s playoffs.
The Crew outshot United 12-8, with six shots on goal to four for United. Dayne St. Clair made five saves for Minnesota and Schulte three.
Cam Knowles continued in his role as Minnesota’s interim coach. Monday, the team announced that Manchester United assistant Eric Ramsey had been hired as coach but is still awaiting his work visa. United fired Adrian Heath last October after the Loons missed the playoffs.
This was the first time the teams met in league play since 2020.
Next Saturday Columbus is home against the Chicago Fire and Minnesota plays at Orlando City.

Stamkos leads Predators past Wild 2-1, locking Minnesota into the West’s third seed
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Steven Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist to lead the Nashville Predators to a 2-1 victory over Minnesota on Saturday, locking the Wild into the third seed in the Western Conference for the playoffs.
Matthew Wood also scored and Justus Annunen made 21 saves for the Predators, 4-1-1 in their last six.
Minnesota will face the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs.
Michael McCarron scored and Jesper Wallstedt made 20 saves for the Wild, losers of two straight.
The Predators are now three points behind the Los Angeles Kings for the Western Conference’s second wild card. The Kings defeated the Edmonton Oilers earlier Saturday. Nashville has two games remaining and the Kings three.
Stamkos scored the game’s first goal with 4:59 remaining in the opening period on a wraparound tucked just inside the left post.
The goal was the 40th of the season for Stamkos, the eighth time in his career that he’s scored 40 or more.

Wood made it 2-0 at 6:34 of the second after Stamkos corralled the rebound of Nick Perbix’s shot and found Wood in the slot, where he beat Wallstedt with a wrist shot.
McCarron, traded by Nashville to Minnesota prior to this season’s trade deadline, scored at 6:54 of the third to avoid the Wild’s first shutout of the season. It was his second post-trade goal.
The Wild did not dress forwards Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello or defenseman Jared Spurgeon for the game.
Nashville captain Roman Josi returned to the lineup after missing Thursday night’s game against the Utah Mammoth with an upper-body injury.
