After falling behind, Minnesota United FC rallied to beat the host Tampa Bay Rowdies 3-1 in the North American Soccer League on Saturday. Ibson scored the tying goal in the 36th minute — eight minutes after Juan Guerra's goal for the Rowdies.

Justin Davis got the eventual winning goal in the 65th minute, with Ibson getting the assist. Daniel Mendes added an insurance goal in stoppage time.

"I was really proud of the way the guys played," United coach Manny Lagos said. "They came into a tough environment here in Tampa Bay and were able to persevere after going behind early."

Christian Ramirez's seven-game goal-scoring streak for the Loons came to an end. He hit an upright early in the match.

With the three points for the win, United (4-2-3) is one of four teams with 15 points in the fall season. Ottawa leads the standings with 19.
