Three MLS Clubs Reach Semis

Four Tuesday matches marked the quarterfinal round in the US Open Cup.

At Rochester, New York:

Goals from Taiwo Atieno (54') and Andrew Gregor (PK-67') paced the Rochester Rhinos to a 2-1 home win over the Wilmington Hammerheads (USL-2). The USL-1 Rhinos are the only non-Major League Soccer club left in the tournament.

At Boyds, Maryland:

Thabiso Khumalo (8') and Andrew Jacobson (18') provided the goals as DC United continued their defense of their Open Cup title with a 2-1 home win over the Harrisburg City Islanders (USL-2).

At Charleston, South Carolina:

Geoff Cameron doubled (16', 73') and Bobby Boswell (47') and Dominic Oduro (52') each scored once as the Houston Dynamo battered the homestanding Charleston Battery (USL-1) 4-0.

At Tukwilla, Washington:

Sebastien Le Toux's successful penalty kick at 89 minutes lifted Seattle Sounders FC to a 1-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards.

On July 21 or 22, Rochester will visit DC United (at Boyds, Maryland) and Houston visits Seattle (at Tukwilla, Washington) in the semifinal round.
