Minnesota Aurora FC continued its strong start to the 2026 season on Friday night, earning a composed 2-0 road victory over River Light FC at Marmion Academy and improving to 4-0-0 on the season.
The matchup featured two of the early contenders in Group D action, with Aurora entering undefeated and River Light coming off their first setback of the season while carrying a 2-1 record into the contest.
After a tightly contested opening stretch, Aurora broke through in the 28th minute. Maia Tabion found the back of the net to give Minnesota a 1-0 advantage and send the visitors into halftime with momentum.
