Minnesota United young striker Tani Oluwaseyi’s 95th-minute goal has got his team to tie defending MLS champions Columbus Crew 1-1 in the Loons’ home opener at sold-out Allianz Field.

The Loons used all five substitutions, including Oluwaseyi as the first man off the bench in the 60th minute. Thirty-five minutes later, he scored the equaliser with a sharply angled shot that beat Crew keeper Patrick Schulte.
With time ticking out, the Loons’ long throw-in from the left sideline bounced off heads and bodies, flicked on until it reached Oluwaseyi on the far right side of the 18-yard box.
The USL top scorer last year beat the keeper and an onrushing defender in his fourth MLS appearance.
Oluwaseyi, who played for San Antonio FC last season, is eligible to play for Nigeria and Canada.
