The 4th Round draw for the 2019 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup has once again paired D.C. United with the Philadelphia Union. The Black-and-Red will host their nearest geographical MLS rival, with venues and the official date to be announced later. The 4th Round is scheduled to take place on June 11th-12th.
Steve Goff of the Washington Post is reporting that United will host the game at Audi Field rather than at the Maryland SoccerPlex, which in the past has virtually always hosted D.C.’s early Open Cup matches. This is the first time since Audi Field opened that United has had an Open Cup game to host, as they were already eliminated before the venue opened in July of last year.
