The quarterfinals for the MLS is Back Tournament are set, and if the drama is anything like the first round of knockout games, soccer fans will have plenty to cheer for.

Tuesday night offered up the final two spots in the round of eight with both the Portland Timbers and Minnesota United advancing via penalty kicks after the two matches ended in 1-1 draws.

Chase Gasper scored the clinching goal in the shootout for Minnesota United FC over a Columbus Crew team that went undefeated and unscored on in group play. Portland, meanwhile, connected on all four penalty chances against an FC Cincinnati club that scored on just two of its attempts.
