Tuesday’s US Open Cup Scores

All information from USOpenCup.com

From coast to coast it was a big night for many teams in Round II of the US Open Cup on Tuesday evening. The shock of the evening was the Carolina RailHawks of USL-1 were ousted from the tournament by USL-2 team, Wilmington Hammerheads  who will now move on to face the Chicago Fire in Wilmington N.C.

Some of the other matchups in the third round are also intriguing. The Ocean City Barons, who are a PDL team, will play DC United at the Maryland Soccerplex. Ocean City becomes only the sixth amateur team to ever upset back-to-back professional clubs.

The Austin Aztex will now play a derby-type game with the Houston Dynamo. That game will be played at Nelson Field in Austin and is sure to be a good one.

Perhaps the most interesting matchup of all will be the Portland Timbers game vs the Seattle Sounders at Portland’s PGE Park, a place the Sounders are very familiar with. I’m sure the Timbers Army will be out in force. Watch out Sounders!
