The third round of the US Open Cup is upon us. There are 8 MLS teams remaining in the tournament – each of which will face a non-MLS team.
Three teams from the USL Second Division have made it to the round of 16. These teams all face MLS teams in this round. Here are those matchups:
Crystal Palace Baltimore vs. New York Red Bulls
Richmond Kickers vs. New England Revolution
Cleveland City Stars vs. Chicago Fire
The remaining lower level teams all came from the USL First Division:
Rochester Rhinos vs. DC United
Miami FC Blues vs. FC Dallas
Charsleston Battery vs. Houston Dynamo
Carolina Railhawks vs. Kansas City Wizards
Seattle Sounders vs. Chivas USA
The previous round saw the exit of 8 more USL First and Second Division teams along with the only team from outside USL to make it that far – Hollywood United. Hollywood United are a part of the United States Adult Soccer Association.
What MLS teams may fall to their lower league opponents?
