Video highlights (s
After eliminating the defending Amateur Cup champions in the Quarterfinals, Club Atletico Los Toros continued their run with a 4-2 win over Vereinigung Erzgebirge, a Philadelphia-area club with decades of history behind it.
VE had two solid scoring chances in the first half hour of the game. After an 8th minute corner kick produced a reflex save from the goalkeeper from Los Toros, he came up big again in the 24th minute. After a throw-in near the corner flag on the left wing, a cross came in and found the head of a VE player at the edge of the six yard box. The header was put on frame and the goalkeeper was able to dive to get a hand on it and deflect it over the bar.
In first half stoppage time it was Los Toros who broke through in controversial fashion. A corner kick was delivered in from the right wing and was headed on goal near the far post. The ball took a deflection in front and headed toward the line where it appeared to be cleared at the last moment by a VE defender, but the referee ruled that the ball had crossed the line. Alejandro Neira appeared to be the player who got credited with the goal as protests from VE players and coaches were brushed aside.
The visitors pulled level in the 64th minute after another corner kick a ball was sent in from the left wing and got knocked around in crowded six yard box and ended up in the back of the net for VE’s first goal. It was later confirmed as an own goal.
Elliott Berg of Los Toros would regain the lead for the hosts in the 69th minute. Freddy Jovel crossed it in from the right wing and Berg lost his defender and connected on an acrobatic volley right in front of goal and the ball kissed off the far post and into the goal to give Los Toros a 2-1 lead.
About five minutes later (74th min.), Jovel made a run into the penalty area from the right wing and crossed the ball in front of goal. The VE goalkeeper reached out to get a hand to the low cross and left a juicy rebound right on the doorstep of his goal and Oswualdo Cruz banged it home to give them a 3-1 advantage.
In the 81st minute, VE showed that they still had a chance when they sent a low pass into the center of the box where the ball was laid off to Sebastian Krysztofowicz at the top of the box who fired a shot past the diving goalkeeper to make it 3-2.
Los Toros would put the game away in second half stoppage time with a header by Wassim Sassi from a corner kick to give them a two-goal advantage that they would hold onto until the final whistle.

USASA Region II Semifinals
Green Bay Glory (WI, MWPL)
0:3
RWB Adria (IL, MWPL)
Capital Credit Union Park – Ashwaubenon, WI
RWB Adria ended the run of dark horse Green Bay Glory, 3-0, to reach the regional semifinals.
The scoring opened in the 14th minute when Dani Mendoza played a long ball from midfield up to Tyler Bagley. The former Inter Miami II and Las Vegas Lights FC attacker ran on to the ball in behind the defense and beat the goalkeeper to give the visitors an early lead. It was the fourth goal in the last two tournament games for Bagley, who scored a hat trick in last round’s 4-0 road win over Goshen City FC.
In the 21st minute, Green Bay was given a chance to tie the game when an attacking player beat his defender on the left wing and dribbled into the box. He was taken down and the referee pointed to the spot. The penalty kick taker stepped to the spot and RWB Adria goalkeeper Jerry Perez guessed correctly, diving to his right to make the save. He was unable to control the ball, so the rebound was loose on the other side of the goal. Perez scrambled across his goal with the penalty kick taker converging on the ball near the post, hoping to make amends for his miss, but ultimately Perez knocked the ball out of bounds and out of danger.
RWB added to their lead in the 70th minute when a Green Bay defender committed a foul just outside the penalty area. Alex Sanchez took the free kick and bent the ball around the wall and into the back of the net to give his team a 2-0 lead.
Adria finished the scoring late when they worked the ball through multiple players from the left wing to the right wing. The final pass came from Bagley who sent a through ball to Alex Steinwasher who was making a run into the box from the right side. Steinwasher blasted the ball past the keeper to put the game out of reach.
RWB Adria, winners of the National Amateur Cup in 2011 and 2013, will next play Chicago House AC in the Region II Final at a date and location to be determined.
Goal scorers
RWB:
- Tyler Bagley 14′ (Dani Mendoza)

USASA Region II Semifinals
Drita SC (MI, APSL)
2:3
Chicago House AC (IL, MWPL)
St. Paul’s Albanian Catholic Church – Rochester Hills, MI
Chicago House made the trip to Rochester Hills, Mich., to face APSL side Drita SC. Despite the rain, the team from the Windy City advanced in a back and forth match, 3-2, to reach their first-ever regional amateur cup final.
House took the lead early when a House attacking player was tripped as he dribbled into the penalty area. Veteran AR Smith stepped up to the spot and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to give the visitors the lead in the 11th minute.
House added to their lead in first half stoppage time as Nico Williams intercepted a pass in Drita’s defensive third. Williams immediately dribbled in and struck a low shot toward goal, but it took a deflection which froze the goalkeeper and ended up in the back of the net. The goalkeeper’s reaction to the goal and the fact that the ball went through the back of the net confused some of the fans in attendance and viewers at home, but Chicago would take a 2-0 lead into the halftime break.
Dritas would pull one back in the 60th minute off a corner kick. The home team sent the corner into the heart of the box and the ball was headed up in the air three times before falling to a Dritas player who volleyed it toward the goal. The ball struck a Dritas player and it fell to him and he quickly shot the ball in traffic and into (and through) the back of the net.
Dritas would level the match in the 74th minute after one of their attacking players was taken down in the penalty area. Vasel Gjonaj stepped to the spot and struck the ball to the left side and the ball found it’s way into the goal despite the goalkeeper guessing correctly.
The winning goal came in the 88th minute when Chicago House played the ball out of the back with a long pass along the ground to the edge of Dritas SC’s third of the field. House pushed the play out to the left wing and the ball was crossed low to the ground into the box where it found Kamran Tejumola who received it with his back to the goal. The former Loyola University Chicago player quickly turned and fired a shot into the roof of the net from close range to give House what would prove to be the winning goal.
Chicago moves one step closer to qualifying for the US Open Cup, a tournament they qualified for twice (2023, 2024) and upset a pro team for the first time when they knocked off Forward Madison (USL-1) in 2023.

- Luis Lera 60′
- Vasel Gjonaj 74′
