After Bobby Shuttleworth dived to his right and punched away Mauro Diaz's penalty kick, center backs Michael Boxall and Francisco Calvo were the first to run up and congratulate him.
What they said in that moment, though, wasn't exactly memorable.
"Just screaming, like guys do," Shuttleworth said. "Scream into your face and not pay attention."
Boxall only had a bit better recall: "I don't know, probably a couple words starting with F and maybe that I loved him."
Shuttleworth's second consecutive match with a penalty save catapulted Minnesota United into its first-ever win streak. The Loons (9-15-5, ninth in the West) tallied their second consecutive three points on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium, beating last season's Supporters' Shield and U.S. Open Cup champions FC Dallas 4-1 in front of an announced 22,055.
Shuttleworth's save against Montreal a week ago kept United from going down 2-0 within the first 15 minutes. This one kept Dallas from equalizing with about 20 minutes to play.
Dallas forward Tesho Akindele scored in the 14th minute. United forward Christian Ramirez scored the tying goal 10 minutes later, though, and then set up best friend winger Miguel Ibarra for a go-ahead goal in the 35th.
Ibarra, who just regained his spot in the starting lineup against Montreal after a five-match absence, said Shuttleworth was a part of his turnaround.
