ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota United used a first-half own goal and a second-half score by Bongokuhle Hlongwane to snap a nine-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. Minnesota United (9-10-6) took a 1-0 lead into halftime thanks to an own goal by San Jose defender Tanner Beason in the 38th minute. That was it until Hlongwane used assists from Joseph Rosales — his 10th — and Sang Bin Jeong — his first — in the 75th minute to score his seventh goal of the season Dayne St. Claire needed to make just one save to earn his third clean sheet of the season for Minnesota United. William Yarbrough saved five shots for the Earthquakes (4-19-2).
