The darlings of the US Open Cup are all set to face each other, again, for a chance to keep their run alive. Their previous meeting was rescheduled for this evening, August 2, after inclement weather kept them from squaring off a few weeks ago (check out our preview here). The rescheduling has become a big advantage for FC Cincinnati, who were able to get their stellar defense healthy. That defense has yet to give up a goal in Open Cup play, including matches against the Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew.
The match is sure to be entertaining, the story lines abundant, but one thing is certain, the winner will move onto the next round to face New York Red Bulls for a chance to go the Open Cup Final.
