Just 24 hours after a 5-1 victory over FC Cincinnati in the Round of 32, the Revolution learned who their Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 opponent will be. The Round of 16 draw was conducted Thursday night on ESPN+’s Futbol Americas, as hosts Sebastian Salazar and Herculez Gomez assisted Open Cup Commissioner David Applegate.
The Revolution were apart of the Northeast Region alongside MLS-combatants New York Red Bulls, Charlotte FC, and New York City FC. All four Northeast clubs applied to host in the Round of 16, which made things interesting as Herc stepped up to the bowl.
