Minnesota and Austin advance in the US Open Cup

On Tuesday in the US Open Cup quarterfinals, Minnesota came back to advance 3-1 over Chicago after extra time at Allianz Field. Playing a man down when Omar Gonzalez saw red in the 25th, Brian Gutierrez converted a Chicago penalty in the 28th. Robin Lod equalized for United in the 47th. With that score holding through regulation, Kelvin Yeboah scored for Minnesota in the 95th and converted a penalty in the 120th minute.

“It feels amazing,” Yeboah said. “It feels amazing to help the team, and I was grateful that I could make an impact in the game.”

After drawing 2-2 after extra time, Austin advanced 4-2 on penalties at San Jose. Cristian Arango put the Earthquakes up in the 12th with Austin’s Brandon Vazquez equalizing from the penalty spot in the 65th. With the game in extra time, Benjamin Kikanovic scored for San Jose in the 99th. Austin’s Myrto Uzuni equalized from the penalty spot in the 115th minute.

Wednesday had what was scheduled to be the other half of the US Open Cup quarterfinals, but Philadelphia vs the Red Bulls was postponed due to weather. The game is now set for August 13.

Nashville advanced with a 5-2 home win over DC United. Falling behind to a Gabriel Pirani goal in the 5th, Nashville gave up an own-goal in the 24th. Jonathan Perez pulled a goal back for Nashville in the 25th and Sam Surridge equalized in the 53rd. Surridge converted a Nashville penalty in the 72nd, Andy Najar scored in the 81st, and Walker Zimmerman finished off the goals in the 87th minute.

DC United “parted ways” with coach Troy Lesesne on July 10, naming Kevin Flanagan as interim coach. “After internal discussions, we have decided to part ways with Troy and go in a different direction as a club,” DC United GM and chief soccer officer Ally Mackay said in a press statement. “Our search for a new head coach will begin immediately, with a focus on identifying a leader who aligns with our club’s identity and long-term vision.”

In MLS, Inter Miami won 2-1 at New England, going ahead from Lionel Messi goals in the 27th and 38th. Carles Gil pulled a goal back for the Revolution in the 80th minute.
