U.S. Open Cup Semifinals

This Wednesday is all high stakes for your Loons, as they host Austin FC in a crucial battle for a spot in the U.S. Open Cup finals. Should Minnesota win, they’ll host the winner of Nashville vs. Philadelphia in the finals and earn a chance to win their first major trophy since joining Major League Soccer.

Matchday 33 saw the Loons beat conference-leading San Diego in a massive 1-3 road result that keeps Minnesota in the running for the Shield. In contention for three trophies, the Black and Blue are navigating a very busy, very important few weeks. Let’s pack the stadium and show El Tree the power of home field advantage.
