The US Open Cup match on Wednesday night between Manhattan SC and FC Motown is being officially protested by Motown following their 2-1 loss in extra time.
Neither team responded to requests for comments, but a copy of Motown’s protest request letter was acquired by HRB. In the letter, the Motown alleges the field used by hosts Manhattan SC on the campus of the College of Mount Saint Vincent in the Bronx was smaller than the dimensions specified in the US Open Cup handbook.
In addition, Motown claims the actions of the match commissioner and officials on site did not follow not proper procedure.
