The winner of tonight’s match between Seattle Sounders FC and the LA Galaxy will advance to the semifinals. That draw will happen on Thursday July 21st. Without a few of their top players (Dempsey is suspended, the team is splitting the squad) Sigi Schmid’s side will need another impressive road performance as they had at Salt Lake in the Round of 16.
Sounders are 22-2-4 in the US Open Cup since joining MLS with a 4-1-3 road record. They have qualified for the semis eight times since 1995 with seven appearances from 2007 to the present. They are tied with Chicago for most Open Cup titles in MLS history with four.
