Just days after Minnesota United defeated the visiting Portland Timbers 1-0 with a stoppage time penalty from Ethan Finlay, the two sides will clash again in the U.S. Open Cup Semifinals at Allianz Field. The Loons’ run to the Semifinals matches the deepest Open Cup run for a Minnesota soccer team, a Minnesota Thunder bid in 2005 was ultimately cut short by the LA Galaxy in the Semifinals. While Cup regulations and other considerations will force some lineup changes, expect another hard-fought battle between two teams with stout defenses and a desire to get out on the counterattack on Wednesday night.
