New York Pancyprian Freedoms (NY, APSL)
East Bridgewater High School – East Bridgewater, MA
The defending National Amateur Cup champions are moving on as the New York Pancyprian Freedoms took down Atletico Boston, 4-1, on the road. Two goals in each half sunk the Bay State Soccer League side who could only manage a consolation goal just before the final whistle. The Pancycprians, who currently are atop the Metropolitan Division of the APSL, had familiar faces. But the goal of the match came from the young Nicholas Zielonka who sunk a free kick from distance for his team’s fourth.

NYPF:

Loco Gunners (MA, BSSL)
1:3
Lansdowne Yonkers FC (NY, ASPL)
East Bridgewater High School – East Bridgewater, MA
In a doubleheader reminiscent of National Challenge Cups of old, Lansdowne Yonkers FC and Loco Gunners took the field right after the previous New York vs Boston clash. In a battle of previous National Amateur Cup champions, it was Lansdowne that came away with the victory. The Yonkers side trailed early before scoring three unanswered.
This sets up an all New York semifinal in May. Coincidentally, both of these teams qualified for the Region I tournament by reaching the Eastern New York Manning Cup Final. That game will be played April 30 on New York’s Randall’s Island.

Christos FC (MD, APSL)
2:1
Club Atlético Los Toros (VA, APL)
Arundel High School – Gambrills, MD
Christos FC embodied the phrase “it ain’t over until it’s over” as the Maryland side scored twice deep into second half stoppage time to beat Club Atlético Los Toros, 2-1. MDCVSA state cup champion Los Toros held a lead for a majority of the match but injuries and other stoppages added up into over ten minutes of added time in the second half. Christos, a well known name to those who follow amateur soccer, defied the odds as they try to win their second-ever National Amateur Cup.

Christos:
- Nick Richardson (Anthony Dragasics) 90+7’

Green Bay Glory (WI, MWPL)
United Serbian SC Fields – Milwaukee, WI
The United Serbian Soccer Club beat Green Bay Glory, 4-1, in a true example of an amateur cup game. GBG saw three red cards and USSC also saw a player ejected during the match. Two penalty kicks before the half hour mark and a choppy field all played a role in the historic Wisconsin side’s win.

TUESDAY, APRIL 29
Michigan Stars U23 (MI, MWPL)
7:1
Implay City FC (MI, MUSL)
Michigan Stars Sports Center – Washington, MI
This game was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday, hosted by Imlay City at Yntema Soccer Park in Imlay City, Michigan. However weather forced the game to be postponed and the Stars became the host.
Imlay City got on the board first but after twenty minutes it was all Stars. The home side scored four unanswered in the first half, including an insane goal by former Iraq youth international Yousuf Zetuna. His free kick from just outside City’s box hit off the crossbar, before the forward recovered the rebound with one leg, and launched another shot that curled into the back of the net. The Stars added three more in the second half to advance.
Goal scorers
Stars:
- Dennis Cali 22′
- Yousuf Zetuna 25′, 39
- Grant Mateer 35′
- Myles Manry 71′
