With one game to play in the 2012 North American Soccer League season, the Minnesota Stars are sitting in a familiar seat: leading a two-game series by two goals with a trip to Florida around the corner. The Stars topped the Tampa Bay Rowdies 2-0 in front of 4,642 fans on a chilly Minnesota night at NSC Stadium.
We bring you both the goals, other highlights including spectacular saves and post-game interviews from the NASL Championship Series First Leg in this week's NASL Weekly Rewind.
