Minnesota United traveled to Houston to take on the Dynamo in the quarterfinals of the 2018 U.S. Open Cup this evening. The squad made it this far courtesy of some goalkeeping heroism by Bobby Shuttleworth in the previous round against FC Cincinnati during a penalty shootout. The Loons advanced on penalties after three saves by the big man between the sticks. On the opposing end, Houston qualified for the quarterfinals after a convincing 5-0 win against amateur side and Cinderella story, North Texas Rayados. In their previous meeting this season in MLS, Minnesota took home all three points after a 2-1 victory at home against the Dynamo.
