The final is within sight.
A win is all that separates the San Jose Earthquakes from advancing to the final round of the U.S. Open Cup. Doing so would give the club a chance to earn their first piece of silverware since the 2012 season and the chance to test their mettle in the CONCACAF Champions League. Yet, before they can entertain such thoughts of glory, Chris Leitch’s men must first make it past Sporting Kansas City in their pivotal Open Cup semifinal on August 9, which is set to kick off at 5:30 p.m. PT and will be streamed online at SJEarthquakes.
