"The only positive that we can take from today is the people who braved the elements to come out," Minnesota coach Adrian Health said. Kevin Molino scored the only goal for Minnesota, which lost 5-1 at Portland last week and has become the first MLS team to allow five-plus goals in consecutive games. Atlanta, which joined MLS this season with Minnesota for the league's 21st and 22nd teams, was coming off a 2-1 loss at home to the New York Red Bulls in its opener last week. Minnesota-Atlanta was the ninth game in league history played in snow, but only the second time the special orange ball was used for better visibility. He flashed the only smileapparent afterward in the Loons' locker room when asked about the snow experience.
