To say LA Galaxy got the luck of the draw last time out would be a pretty massive understatement. In a round where MLS teams have arrived, the top USL teams remain, Galaxy drew a match against Cal United Strikers. While on the road, their opposition comes from the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), The league is third tier American soccer, but even with those odds, the home side was looking for some of that U.S. Open Cup magic to go their way against the Goliaths that are the Galaxy. While were able to put two past the MLS side, it was LA who came away with the win, 3-2, to advance to the next round.
Survive and advance: Cal United Strikers 2, LA Galaxy 3
