The Loons have scored three times on set pieces, twice on penalty kicks and twice during open play.The Loons’ one goal against Chicago was a gift from goalkeeper Chris Brady, who couldn’t catch Kervin Arriaga’s free kick from about 35 yards out. It bounced right off Brady’s hands and into the net.Minnesota (3-1-2) will play Orlando City (2-2-2) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Allianz Field. The Lions also are n...
