Teemu Pukki succeeded in the third game in a row. Robert Taylor set up the important equalizer, but Miami’s playoff dreams still took a hit.
The top man of the Finnish men’s national football team Teemu Pukki has reached a good scoring streak in the North American MLS series.
The night before Sunday, Finnish time, he got a taste of the goal already in the third match in a row, when Minnesota represented by Puk played a 1-1 draw with San Jose.
Pukki completed Minnesota’s lead in the 56th minute from close range, but San Jose Paul Marie equalized in the 82nd minute.
Puki, who moved to MLS in the summer, had a rough start at his new club. Adaptation was made difficult, for example, by the fact that he was still playing series games in England in May, and in June the national team was still busy. At the beginning of July, he was already playing in Minnesota, so the rest and training time before moving to MLS was very little.
Vire has improved, and Pukki has scored six goals in 11 MLS matches. Minnesota is three points out of a Western Conference playoff spot with three regular season games remaining.
Messi didn’t play
Also the midfielder of the Finnish national team by Robert Taylor represented by Miami is in the mood for the playoffs, but the dreams experienced a crash in the match against New York City.
Santiago Rodriguez gave City the lead in the second half. Taylor was able to give a corner kick in the fifth minute of added time, and Tomas Aviles pukkasi scored a 1-1 final score from the ball served by the Finn. Miami is four points out of an Eastern Conference playoff spot. It has four matches left.
One of the best players in the world of all time Lionel Messi moved to Miami in the summer and accelerated the team to a huge winning streak, but Messi did not play the night before Sunday.
