Fire, Galaxy Reach US Open Cup Final

The Chicago Fire and Los Angeles Galaxy have reached the final of the 2006 Lamar Hunt United States Open Cup tournament with home wins on Wednesday night:

At Bridgeview, Illionis:

Justin Mapp's goal in the 58th minute, followed by two goals from Calen Carr, sent Chicago to a 3-0 home win over DC United.

At Carson, California:

The Los Angeles Galaxy continued their defense of their US Open Cup title by defeating the visiting Houston Dynamo 3-1 on a goal by Alan Gordon in the 6th minute, and a late first-half strike on a free kick from 20 yards out by Landon Donovan (who assisted on the Gordon goal).

The Fire and Galaxy will play for the title on September 27, at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois. The game will be telecast on Fox Soccer Channel.
