The US Soccer Federation has announced the 155 teams that will enter qualifying for the 2027 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. 16 teams will emerge from qualifying for spots in the First Round proper next March, joining 16 other amateur teams directly entered in the First Round for a total of 32 Open Division teams.

Teams will be paired against one another based on distance, unless a geographical match-up is impossible. Teams playing anywhere from 2-4 knockout matches to advance to the First Round, with announcements of teams receiving byes already distributed to qualifiers. Teams will play on the following weekends:

September 12-13, 2026
October 3-4, 2026
October 31-November 1, 2026
November 21-22, 2026

Last year, US Open Cup qualifying set a record with 146 teams being announced for the tournament. This year, its another new record with 155 teams across 29 leagues. For the second year this also includes USL League Two (USL-2) and National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) teams, for those that did not receive direct qualification into the First Round based on league performance.

The most clubs from any one state is California with 22, with Florida just behind with 19.

2026 National Amateur Cup: Extra time drama in Midwest quarterfinals

May 11, 2026 by Michael Battista

The USASA Region II (Midwest) Amateur Cup field is down to four. A rare two-game quarterfinal round, where last season’s champion and finalist entered the competition, took place earlier this month. The defending champs cruised through to the Semifinals while the finalists lost in an extra time thriller.

Now two teams, Chicago House AC and Drita Soccer Club, will re-enter the regional competition to take part in the Semis.

The 2026 edition of the United States Adult Soccer Association’s top tournament will once again grant an automatic bid into the following year’s Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Meaning this is already 2027 US Open Cup qualifying.

Region II, which is made up of teams from the Midwest, is just starting, but the eventual champion will be the representative at the National Finals, alongside the other three USASA Regions.

Here’s a look at each of the seven Region II games played so far. Interested in how the Midwest’s controversial Second Round played out? Check out our recap here.

Sunday, May 3

Goshen City FC (IN, MWPL)
0:4
RWB Adria (IL, MWPL)
Techny Prairie Park and Fields – Northbrook, IL

The defending Region II Amateur Cup champions made a statement in their first game back in the competition. RWB Adria of Chicago beat hopefuls Goshen City FC, 4-0, to reach the regional semifinal later this month.

Former Inter Miami II and Las Vegas Lights FC attacker Tyler Bagley scored a hat-trick for Adria in an impressive display. Its sort of the norm for Bagley with Adria. In last year’s Region II final, the California native netted four goals en route to the title over Michigan Rangers FC. Dani Mendoza scored RWB’s other goal. Goalkeeper Jerry Perez held Goshen City off the scoresheet for the full 90 minutes in a clean sheet performance.

RWB Adria, winners of the National Amateur Cup in 2011 and 2013, will next play Green Bay Glory in the regional semifinals.

Green Bay Glory (WI, MWPL)
3:2
FC Milwaukee Torrent (WI, NPSL)
After Extra Time
Warrior Athletic Field – Fort Wayne, IN

Sometimes you find yourself with a banger when you never would have expected one. An all Wisconsin quarterfinal clash saw the underdog Green Bay Glory knock off the much larger FC Milwaukee Torrent, 3-2 AET, to reach the Region II Semifinals for the first time ever.

The Torrent, which don’t open their National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) season until Mid-May, took the lead in the 14th minute when a low cross from Brandon Kaup found Gabe Voung in front of net, who finished the shot off. A back and forth first half ensued, but Green Bay found the equalizer just before halftime. The visitors were given a free kick just under 10 years from the top of the box and captain Keven Sosa-Lassila stepped up for it. He curved around the three man wall and past a diving goalkeeper to put it into the net near the right corner.

With the score tied, Dennis Nyame took advantage of chaos early in the second half to give Green Bay its first lead. A shot off the Torrent crossbar saw the ball land in the box and at the feet of a Green Bay player. A Milwaukee player slid to clear, taking down the Green Bay player. The field looked toward the official, but Nyame played the still live ball from the left side of the box and shot into the net past a jumping keeper to make it 2-1. Torrent equalized in the 68th when a shot punched away by the Green Bay keeper fell to Max Ludwig, who curved a shot so well even the keeper didn’t flinch on it as it went into the goal.

The game stayed 2-2 until the end of regulation, meaning at least two more 15 minute halves. Green Bay took advantage of a seriously bad series of defense. A long ball from the Green Bay end saw Seth Schroeder running alongside and passing the backline. A failed sliding tackle, which would have been a DOGSO red, meant Schroeder only had the keeper to beat. He played around him and scored in the empty net to make it 3-2, which would stand as the final score.

Green Bay moves on to face RWB Adria in the next round in a battle of Packers versus Bears in the Amateur Cup.

2026 National Amateur Cup: Northeast Quarterfinals conclude after month off

May 5, 2026 by Michael Battista

The Quarterfinals of the USASA Region I (Northeast) Amateur Cup saw massive upsets. The 102nd edition of the National Amateur Cup will not have a repeat champion after a shocking upset in Virginia.

The 2026 edition of the United States Adult Soccer Association’s top tournament will once again grant an automatic bid into the follow year’s Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Meaning this is already 2027 US Open Cup qualifying.

Region I, which is made up of teams from the Northeast, is down to the Semifinals with two teams from New York, one from Eastern Pennsylvania, and one from Virginia. The region will eventually crown a champion that will be the representative at the National Finals, alongside the other three USASA Regions.

Here’s a look at each of the Region I games went:

Sunday, April 19

West Chester United SC (PA, USLPA)
0:3
Club Atlético Los Toros (VA, APL)
Veritas School – Richmond, VA

A shocking result sees the defending National Amateur Cup champions eliminated in their first game played on the field. Club Atlético Los Toros of Virginia beat West Chester United SC, 3-0, to reach the regional semifinals.

The home side got on the board early when Freddy Jovel stole the ball back from a WCU defender on the left side of the field, before crossing into the box. A shot was saved by the West Chester keeper but the rebound was recovered by Alejandro Neira with a sexy 360 degree turn to one shot the ball into the right side of the net. Toros doubled the lead in the 21st minute when a clean tackle, arguable to WCU, gave Toros a run down the right side. Jovel played the ball to Carter Berg who was making a run. Berg sent a low left-footed shot between the keeper’s sliding legs and into the net.

A final goal early in the second half saw Jovel send a long ball to the right side of the field, where a cross in led to some chaos before Aidan Mahoney sealed it from the top of the box.

West Chester, which won the Region I championship last year over New York Pancyprian-Freedoms, is out in their “first game”. Last time that happened was in 2024 when the Eastern PA side lost to Steel Pulse FC, 1-0, in the First Round. Los Toros are into the regional semifinals, also known as the southern final, after two straight years of losing in the Quarterfinals.

Goal scorers:

Los Toros:

Alejandro Neira 6′
Carter Berg 21′ (Fredy Jovel)
Aidan Mahoney 53′

MATCH BROADCAST (DMV Sports Media)

Saturday, April 25

Loco Gunners (MA, BSSL)
0:3
Lansdowne Yonkers FC (NY, APSL)
Tibbetts Brook Park Field 1 – Yonkers, NY

For the second straight year, Lansdowne Yonkers FC eliminated Loco Gunners in the Quarterfinals of the Region I tournament. A late first half goal and two late second half scores gave the Bhoys a victory on a rainy night in Yonkers, New York.

No assists in a game where second chances and quick thinking played the biggest part. Lansdowne got on the board when a James Boote free kick into the box was touched by the keeper and finished off by defender Sean Doran. A slate of poor clearances nearly 80 minutes in gave Lansdowne a chance to play around the Loco box, where Oskar Zywiec sent a long shot on goal from the right side. The keeper saved it but Danu Kinsella-Bishop scored off the rebound. The final goal was a stoppage time insurance goal where a long ball down the right side saw Andy Kasza and the Gunners’ keeper both approach. The keeper got the ball to his feet but couldn’t stop Kasza from stealing it away, who walked it into the net for probably the easiest goal of his career.

Lansdowne are into the regional semifinals, the final of the northern portion of the bracket for the second time in as many years. Last year they lost to rivals New York Pancyprian-Freedoms in a fiery match. Gunners, who won the tournament back in 2012 as the Battery Park Gunners, will refocus on league play.

MATCH BROADCAST (New Logical Sports)

Leros SC (NY, APSL)
4:1
SC Vistula Garfield (NJ, APSL)
Garfield High School – Garfield, NJ

After crossing two rivers to get to their away match, Leros SC beat SC Vistula Garfield. 4-1, in a battle of American Premier Soccer League Metropolitan Division teams.

Former Queens College (NY) forward Harry Cooke scored a brace while Amateur Cup regular Junior Rosero added another goal to his tally this year. Vistula had control of decent part of the game and had opportunities to create good chances, but could not score. Leros’ ability to counterattack was what kept Vistula on the edge. The final 20 minutes saw Garfield pressing higher to try to tie the match, which opened the field up and allowed Leros more space to finish the game off

Leros is making a run of it. The team, which just joined the APSL last fall from the Long Island Soccer Football League (LISFL), is now into its first-ever Region I semifinal (that we know of). Vistula exits the tournament at the hands of a fellow APSL Metro team for the second year in a row after losing to Lansdowne Yonkers in 2025. This is arguably the team’s third consecutive one-and-done performance as well considering it advanced to the quarterfinal via forfeit.

Vereinigung Erzgebirge (PA, USLPA)
5:1
Christos FC (MD, APSL)
Vereinigung Erzgebirge Clubhouse – Warminster, PA

A rough go for Christos FC who bowed out of the tournament to Vereinigung Erzgebirge, 5-1. The Maryland side was short staffed for the game with only 11 players able to travel to VE’s clubhouse.

Derek Antonini secured the hat-trick to mark VE’s second straight game with a player scoring three goals. Kevin Smolyn and Aidan Watkins held down the midfield, helping set-up plays at both ends. Each helped in the attack for Connor Budniak and Bob Hennessy to score one goal each. Goalkeeper Steve Paul made a number of good saves but could not earn the clean sheet.

VE is through to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2021, where they lost to rivals West Chester United in a hard fought game.

2026 National Amateur Cup: Complicated Round 2 in Region II; Chicago House remains

The month of April saw (most) of Round 2 of the USASA Region II (Midwest) Amateur Cup take place. Three of the four games were played, including two blowout wins and one game decided by a single goal. The fourth game was embroiled in so much controversy that the game will instead be played in early May.

The 102nd edition of the National Amateur Cup will continue on in the Midwest with a few changes. Two new teams will enter the competition next round; defending regional champion RWB Adria and defending regional finalist FC Milwaukee Torrent. To make the format work, that means two winning teams from this round have been granted byes into the regional semifinals which are meant to be played before Sunday, May 17.

Region II, which is made up of teams from the Midwest, is just starting, but the eventual champion will be the representative at the National Finals, alongside the other three USASA Regions.

Here’s a look at each of the seven Region II games played so far. Interested in how the Midwest’s First Round played out? Check out our recap here.

Home side Drita Soccer Club advanced passed Livonia City FC earlier this month, 9-0, in a game where then referee became the star of the show. Three first half red cards saw Drita up two men in the first half hour before seeing a red card of their own.

Livonia saw Dylan Turner and Reece Still both shown straight red cards within the first 25 minutes of the match. Despite this, Drita only scored one goal in the first half. DSC’s Calvin Kalemaj was also shown a red around the 40th minute, though it is unknown if this was a second yellow offense, to make it 10v9 for the last 45 minutes plus.

Tired legs got the best of Livonia and Drita scored eight more goals unanswered in the second half to move on. Drita will not compete in the Quarterfinals and instead will recieve a bye into the semifinals.

Goshen City FC (IN, MWPL)
1:0
1927 SC (IN, MWPL)
Warrior Athletic Field – Fort Wayne, IN

An early goal gave Goshen City FC a huge win over 1917 SC, 1-0, in the all Indiana battle.

Both teams described the match as hard fought. Goshen took the early lead when Iker Andes found Roberto Sanchez early the first half, signaling this might be an all-offense affair. However, neither team could capitalize on chances and the score remained for the remainder of the match. Home side 1927 SC hit the crossbar twice during the match and forced a handful of great saves by Goshen keeper Rafael Sabas.

Goshen made their Amateur Cup debut last year, falling in penalty kicks to eventual regional finalist Michigan Rangers FC. They’ll now face the defending regional champion, 2-time national champion, and defending national finalist RWB Adria of Chicago in the Quarterfinals.

Green Bay Glory (WI, MWPL)
8:1
United Serbian SC (WI, MPL)
Prichard Park – Racine, WI

Green Bay Glory knocked off United Serbian Soccer Club, 8-1, with four goals in each half. The shocking result seems to be related to a few factors. The Serbs were missing players, struggled to stop set-piece goals, and suffered a red card early in the second half. All of these combined have Green Bay essentially a walk-over win.

The visitors came out flying and Josh Johansen scored about 10 minutes in to give Green Bay the early lead. A few minutes later, USSC’s Aleksandar Prpa scored off a deflection for an equalizer but it was down hill from there for the home team.

Right after, Cooper Re scored for GBG to make it 2-1. Griffin Pecore and Seth Schroeder also found the back of the net to enter the break up 4-1. Tommy Geocaris scored a fifth goal less than a minute into the second half. It’s hard to call this the nail in the coffin, but around the 55th minute, a breakaway chance with the Serbs’ goalkeeper ended in a foul and a DOGSO red card for USSC. Keven Sosa-Lassila stepped up and buried the PK. Abraham Navarro and Javoni Mendoza capped it off to close out an 8-1 statement win.

In total, eight different players found the back of the net for Green Bay.

PARTIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Green Bay Glory)

Sunday, May 3

Minnesota Blizzard FC (MN, NPSL)
L:W
Chicago House AC (IL, MWPL)
Benedictine University Soccer Field – Lisle, IL

Original story

After beating RKC Third Coast last round, Chicago House AC was originally disqualified from the tournament for allegedly using an ineligible player in their lineup. After a successful appeal, House is back in the tournament but their originally scheduled match vs Minnesota Blizzard FC had to be moved to a new date. Blizzard advanced after beating Vlora FC in Round 1.

The winner of this game will bypass the quarterfinal stage of the Region II tournament and qualify directly for the semifinals. This is because of two reasons, chief among them USASA Region II said RWB Adria and FC Milwaukee Torrent would have byes to the Quarterfinals but didn’t actually account for math and realize that you can’t have a quarterfinal round with six teams. So two teams are getting byes. The second reason is that this game has been delayed so long that it is taking place the day the USASA Region II Quarterfinal match window closes.

Honestly you can count this as a Quarterfinal match and pretend House and Blizzard had byes past Round 2. It’s overly complicated. It’s insane. It’s the Amateur Cup, baby.

UPDATE (May 1, 2026)

Chicago House AC has advanced into the regional semifinals after Minnesota Blizzard FC forfeit the match scheduled for Sunday, May 3. According to reporting by Northland Soccer Journal, the NPSL side was unable to have a team ready to travel and play in Illinois for the make-up date.

“Very disappointing as we did have a strong team ready to play on April 19” (the original scheduled date) they told NSJ in a statement.

The U.S. Adult Soccer Association and House have both confirmed the news to TheCup as well. A semifinal draw is expected to take place net week.

2026 US Open Cup Round of 16: Blue no more, New York City FC finally beats Red Bulls to advance

It only took 12 seasons.

New York City FC slayed the dragon and beat rival Red Bull New York, 3-1, on Wednesday evening in the 2026 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Round of 16. A near history-making performance from midfielder Maxi Moralez gave NYCFC its first-ever win over RBNY in any knockout competition, including US Open Cup, Leagues Cup, and the MLS Cup Playoffs.

In total, 9,000 fans witnessed the match live at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. Including a sold out away section of 500 NYCFC fans, plus those around the stadium, who saw their team score a first-ever goal (plus two more) in a knockout game against their Hudson River Derby rivals. At this, the boisterous blue fans were louder than the majority home crowd and NYCFC head coach Pascal Jansen made sure to acknowledge them.

“I experienced a similar moment last season as well in an away game, and I knew going into this match that a lot of people who support us, who’d rather not come to this stadium but did come,” Jansen told the media after the match. “We are very well aware of the position we take in their lives also, and it’s something I addressed going into this game, making sure that we realize what this means for our fans, but also the phase that we’re in, because every time we were close, the coin fell the other way. It was good to see that the coin fell our way today, and that the energy and chemistry with the fans in an away stadium like this was there. That was a very good thing to see.”

NYCFC is into the Quarterfinals for the 3^rd time in team history and are now one win away from reaching the club’s first Semifinal appearance.

Both teams entered the match with mostly MLS starting caliber lineups, with a few exceptions. Red Bull had backup John McCarthy in goal and sometimes starting winger Cade Cowell returning for a second straight after playing the previous weekend. NYCFC saw the young Nico Cavallo start at leftback for Kevin O’Toole while forward Malaki Jones made his first post-injury start since June 2024 over regular Talles Magno.

While both teams’ defensive struggles were known, RBNY’s was at the forefront early and often. Two corner kicks in the first ten minutes set up the game’s first goal, when Maxi Moralez sent a ball into the box and found the head of Kai Trewin who put the ball into the far side of the net past a diving McCarthy in the 9th minute. The goal marked Trewin’s first-ever USOC goal and NYCFC’s first goal against RBNY across all knockout competitions.

The home side was quick to counter back and found the equalizer in the 14th minute. A quick run of passes from their own end began with midfielder Ronald Donkor playing a wide ball to winger Cade Cowell on the right side. Cowell sent a superb pass to Julian Hall in the middle, past two defenders and an approaching Matt Freese, who got a shot off down the middle of the goal for an equalizer. The goal was Hall’s third in the USOC this year and his ninth across all competitions.

RBNY kept on the attack, with solid attempts from Jorge Ruvalcaba saved or forcing dives from Freese in goal. On the other side a 23^rd minute pass into the box by Jones was re-directed on target by Nicolás Fernández Mercau, forcing McCarthy into a diving save of his own. In the interim, NYCFC kept getting corner kicks.

Those set-pieces led to the second goal by City in the 39th minute. Another Moralez corner into the box was headed in by defender Raul Gustavo to give NYCFC a 2-1 lead. Gustavo’s first-ever USOC goal was nearly identical to his team’s first, with the ball redirected into the opposite side netting as the corner kick.

The Red Bull did suffer a potential no-call in the 29th minute, when a foul against Dylan Nealis in the box went unanswered as shouts for a penalty kick rang out. Nealis had been tripped in the box while the referee made a delayed call on a previous alleged penalty. No pool reporter and no VAR means no further information on this play will be available.

After the break, NYCFC brought on Talles Magno to replace Jones and City began to take full control of the match. The visitors looked more flexible and quick on their feet in attacks. More chances from open play tested the Red Bull backline, which has lacked a consistent center back presence all season.

Red Bull only had one shot in the second half, coming in injury time, while NYCFC had six. Only one was on target but that was the one that clinched the result.

A third Moralez corner kick in the 57th minute was headed in by NYCFC captain Thiago Martins to make it 3-1. Moralez becomes the seventh player since 1995 to earn three assists in a single USOC match, only one short of tying the record of four set in 2005.

Nico Cavallo nearly scored from open play just after the 60th minute and another Moralez corner kick was flicked on in the 70th but went wide right. Not even mentioning a near Olympico by Moralez a few minutes into the half that McCarthy kept out by the near post.

A complete performance by NYCFC got them the win, breaking RBNY’s six-game home unbeaten streak in USOC.

“I was a little concerned when (Red Bull) equalized at that moment because that was a particular moment which was also part of the story in the previous games (in MLS),” Jansan said, “But to see how we stood our ground in a tough away game against a good opponent, with a lot of movement in their team, and playing as solid as we did in the majority of the phases in possession, was good to see.”

The loud away contingent serenaded their boys in blue, taunting the Red Bull faithful but bringing a smile to the face of players like Malachi Jones.

“To all you guys watching this, thank you. The support was unbelievable. I heard you guys more than the Red Bull fans when I was on the bench, and that just shows how committed you are to us and how committed we are to you. So thank you.”

2026 National Amateur Cup: Chicago House appeal upheld, will play Minnesota Blizzard next

Well nevermind then.

On Monday, the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) announced that Chicago House AC has successfully appealed its disqualification from the 2026 USASA Region II (Midwest) Amateur Cup tournament. The team had been disqualified last week for fielding an ineligble player.

House will now play Minnestota Blizzard FC in Round 2 of the tournament. Game information has not been announced yet, however sources have told TheCup.us that the game is expected to be played in the next two weeks.

USASA Executive Director Bruce Bode provided TheCup.us with a statement on the association’s committee ruling.

“The Appeals Committee panel considered all the evidence and concluded the team should not be disqualified. Once we have the full written decision we will determine if modifications to the rules are needed. The Appeals Committee also recommended that the event rules be revised to remove any existing ambiguity in this area….Where needed, the rules will be modified.”

While not explicitly cited in the ruling, House player Nico Williams appears to be the player at the heart of the controversy. Williams was playing professional indoor soccer at the time of the Amateur Cup match. The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) is professional, however it is not registered with the United States Soccer Federation. Only the MASL’s lower divisions are associated as amateur under the USASA umbrella.

Chicago House provided the following statement to media after the announcement.

The USASA Appeals Committee has upheld the appeal by Chicago House AC and the team remains eligible in the USASA Amateur Cup Tournament. Last week, USASA’s Region 2 claimed Chicago House used an ineligible player and the team was disqualified from the Amateur Cup.

House appealed the decision insisting that the player in question is in fact eligible, citing US
Soccer policy and the appeals committee agreed.

“We are pleased that the committee took a sincere review of our appeal, asked relevant questions and came to the same conclusion that we had,” said House Managing Partner and CEO Peter Wilt.

“We look forward to hosting the Minnesota Blizzard in the 2nd round match as soon as possible,” Wilt said.

Chicago House is attempting to qualify for the US Open Cup for the third time in club history and the first time since 2024. The 2026 Natioal Amateur Cup champion qualifies for the 2027 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

2026 US Open Cup Round 3: Julian Hall’s brace leads Red Bull New York past Pittsburgh Riverhounds

Red Bull New York (the artist formerly known as the New York Red Bulls) defeated the Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, 3-1, on Saturday night in Round 3 of the 2026 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. A brace from one of Major League Soccer’s top goal scorers this season Julian Zakrzewski Hall and team captain Emil Forsberg sent the MLS side into the next round. The light crowd in Harrison, NJ, reportedly under 1,000 fans, were loud the entire night.

They will face Hudson River Derby rivals New York City FC in Round 4 between April 28-29. RBNY will host that match, in a series where NYCFC has yet to beat the Red Bull in any knockout competition (USOC, Leagues Cup, or MLS Cup Playoffs).

Saturday marks RBNY head coach Michael Bradley’s first USOC win from the sideline. He elected to use a starter heavy XI against the Riverhounds, something he explained after the match came down to respect for the opponent as his team’s ethos.

“We’ve said over and over again… that we are going to go for it every single game. And if you say that, that means you don’t get to pick and choose. We value the Open Cup in a big way,” Bradley said. “(We are going to try) and put a team on the field every single game that is ready to go after things.”

New York’s offense included Julian Hall and the team’s USOC headline maker Mohammed Sofo on offense alongside Rafael Mosquera. Team captain Emil Forsberg led the midfield alongside teenagers Adri Mehmeti and Nehuén Benedetti. Finally a near regular backline stood in front of backup goalkeeper John McCarthy.

The first half was all New York, demonstrating how effectively the home side could control the game. Controlling the ball for nearly 3/4ths of the half it took until the 25th minute for the breakthrough. A foul outside the penalty area set-up Red Bull captain Emil Forsberg for a free kick which he sent into the top right corner. Riverhounds’ keeper Nico Campuzano had little chance to stop it.

The goal was not unsimilar to the one Forsberg scored against FC Dallas last year in the Round of 16.

New York added another a few minutes later in the 28th minute. A cross from the left side from Mohammed Sofo found Forsberg, who passed back to Nehuén Benedetti. The Argentina native one touched the ball forward to an on the run Julian Hall slotting a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner.

Hall doubled his goal count right after the halftime break when Forsberg found him in the box in the 47th minute. His low right footed shot got past Campuzano and made any realistic chance of a Hounds comeback very low.

“Of course I want to score goals, but my main objective is to make as much of an impact as I can,” Hall said about his impact on the field. “Thankfully, I got two tonight, and now I’m just ready for the game on Saturday.”

The goals mark Hall’s first two-ever USOC cup goals. The 18-year-old Manhattan native has seven goals across all competitions for New York in 2026, and has been one of MLS’s biggest stars so far in the season.

New York nearly made it 4-0 in the 51st minute when Rafael Mosquera’s curving shot attempt from outside the right area of the box just barely went wide left of the goal.

The Hounds controlled the ball even less in the second half, only keeping it for about 20% of the 45 minutes. The team only had three shots in the half but did claw back a goal in the 79th minute. Eliot Goldthorp sent in a cross to the box that Trevor Amann headed into the bottom left corner to make it 3-1. Former Ocean City (N.J.) Nor’easters keeper John McCarthy would lose out on his clean sheet. But with the win he extended his Lamar Hunt US Open Cup unbeaten streak to 11 matches, going 7-0-4 in that span.

One of the only other unfortunately notable moments of the half came in the 67th minute, when Hounds’ Lasse Kelp was replaced by Victor Souza with a concussion substitute after a collision. The other party, New York’s Roald Mitchell, was subbed off a few minutes later for Jorge Ruvalcaba.

The Hounds exit the tournament with a disappointing result, unable to make it a conquering of Big Apple MLS teams after being New York City FC last year.

Speaking of the blue side, when asked about playing NYCFC next in the Open Cup, coach Bradley said he and his team were incredibly excited.

“We are really excited. Obviously, I’ve watched the (Hudson River Derby) from afar. I was at the game here last season and so I think it speaks for itself in terms of the two clubs and everything that it means when two teams in the same city now play and are ready to go after each other,” said the former US Men’s National Team captain. “Obviously, there’s important games and there’s work to do between now and then. But for sure, when that game comes around, we will be ready, and we’re going to be really excited.”

2026 National Amateur Cup: 16 teams begin in Region II

The 102nd edition of the National Amateur Cup began this week in the Midwest. Comfortable wins were predominant, one match was suspended by the weather and two games were forfeited so far in the first wave of games in the USASA Region II tournament for the 2026 Amateur Cup.

The 2026 edition of the United States Adult Soccer Association top tournament will once again grant an automatic bid into the follow year’s Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Meaning this is already 2027 Open Cup qualifying.

Region II, which is made up of teams from the Midwest, is just starting, but the eventual champion will be the representative at the National Finals, alongside the other three USASA Regions.

Here’s a look at each of the seven Region II games played so far. Interested in how the Northeast’s First Round played out? Check out our recap here.

Monday, March 23

Camargo FC (MN, MASL)
L:W
Green Bay Glory (WI, MWPL)
N/A

Round 1 kicked off with a forfeit as Minnesota side Camargo FC withdrew, allowing Wisconsin’s Green Bay Glory to advance. No date or venue was ever set for this game, and the above date represents the day TheCup was informed of the decision.

Northland Soccer Journal was able to reach Camargo FC and was given the following statement.

“Unfortunately, the travel required this early in the Amateur Cup created logistical challenges that we weren’t able to overcome within the three-week window between the schedule release and the match deadline. “

Green Bay advances to Round 2 which is scheduled to take place during the month of April. Last year, the Midwest Premier League side was defeated in Round 1 by United Serbian Soccer Club, 4-1, in Round 1.

Tuesday, March 31

Drita Soccer Club (MI, APSL)
5:4
Ypsilanti Athletic FC (MI, MUSL)
Michigan Stars Sports Center – Washington, MI

A nine goal slugfest officially opened up the Region II Amateur Cup as Drita Soccer Club beat Ypsilanti Athletic FC, 5-4, in the cozy confines of Michigan Stars Sports Center. Drita surged to a 3-0 lead 20 minutes in, before a back and forth saw YAFC make it 4-4 with just under twenty minutes to play. In the end, Dennis Cali secured his hat-trick with the game winning goal in the 73rd minute to advance his team.

YAFC looked a little overwhelmed after the rough start. But after Jayden Huxtable scored midway through the first half the team seemed to pick right up. Injury was the biggest detriment however. Midfielder Skyler Sebring was injured near the end of the game after a hard tackle. The team lost a lot of play making ability as he left the field.

Drita still played like a team early in its season, starting fast but allowing Ypsilanti to come back with careless mistakes. It was also a chance for the new APSL side to experience with experience and youth. Team captain Christian Margilaj was a constant threat on the ball for the visitors ball hawk. Elsewhere, University of Detroit Mercy commit Daniel Kadiu made his first team debut and scored in the first half.

Livonia City FC (MI, APSL)
2:6
Monroe United (MI, APSL)

Two members of the American Premier Soccer League’s Mitten Conference, a new conference featuring Michigan teams, faced off in Round 1. In the end experience won out at Livonia City FC beat Monroe United, 6-2.

It was a different type of game for both teams. Livonia relied on a mix of young players and some older faces are they continue to prepare for their MWPL season. Meanwhile Monroe was playing their first-ever game as a team. The side, which had some high school players making their first team debut, only had one 11 v 11 training session the weekend prior.

Thomas Dono and former Gold Star FC Detroit forward Jacob Kunnath both earned braces for their side as Livonia scored five goals in the first half. Despite the result Monroe’s technical director Eric Perilla still saw positives from the game.

“It’ll take time, but it was a great experience and huge opportunity for the guys, especially the young ones still in high school,” Perilla said. “I’m just glad we finally got this going. Our second half looked much stronger too!”

W:L
Valhalla FC (OH, OVPL)
N/A

Hosts Valhalla FC forfeit their match against 1927 SC in Round 1, allowing the Indiana side representing the Ft. Wayne Sports Club to advance. Valhalla, which has been a regular in the Amateur Cup in recent years, was unable to have paperwork to host the match approved in time before the round window was set to end.

1927 lost in Round 1 last year, 4-2 AET, to Livonia City FC. The team’s best performance was in 2023, under the Ft. Wayne Sports Club name, where they reached the regional semifinals. Valhalla reached the regional quarterfinals in 2025 before losing to Michigan Stars U23, 5-1.

Steel City FC (IL, MWPL)
1:4 AET
Goshen City FC (IN, MWPL)
Everwise School Field – South Bend, IN

In an all Midwest Premier League clash, Goshen City FC beat Steel City FC, 4-1 after extra time, to advance. Home side Goshen took the lead in the first half thanks to Joao Laranjo before the visitors equalized in the second half off a Tim Slusarczyk goal.

Things were even up until the 89th minute, when Steel City’s Tre Adams was shown a second yellow card and given a red. A series of injuries in extra time brought SCFC down to eight men and Goshen pounced. Three unanswered goals lifted the home side into the next round of the tournament.

“The game was lost in the boardroom, not on the field,” Steel City chairman Ivaldo Basso said after the game. “We under-resourced the team by not traveling with a full squad, and we paid the price for that. I take full responsibility.”

Goshen lost in Round 1 of the Amateur Cup in a thrilling penalty kick shootout to Michigan Rangers FC. Its a second-straight Round 1 exit for Steel, who reached the regional semifinals in 2024.

RKC Third Coast SC (WI, MWPL)
1:4
Chicago House AC (IL, MWPL)
Fenwick Priory – River Forest, IL

Another all Midwest Premier League showdown saw Open Cup and Amateur Cup regulars Chicago House AC beat first-timers RKC Third Coast SC, 4-1.

Former pro Elias McCloud scored first for House but RKC fought back. A blocked penalty kick could have equalized but the visitors did that get goal just before halftime off the foot of Cole Rodgers. However the more experienced House side scored three unanswered in the second half to take the win. CHAC’s top goal scorer from last season Kikis Avalos scored the game winner in the 60th minute before Nico Williams got a brace within five minutes late in the half.

This marked RKC’s first-ever appearance in the National Amateur Cup tournament. House reached the regional Quarterfinals last year, where they lost to eventual regional finalist Michigan Rangers FC, 3-0.

Minnesota Blizzard FC (MN, NPSL)
4:2
Vlora FC (MN, MASL)
Conway Dome – Saint Paul, MN

By Tim Abbott

Originally scheduled for McMurray Fields in St Paul, Minnesota, the game moved to the Conway Dome in the city as temperatures dropped to 37º with wind chill dropping even further. The two teams squared off for a second successive year at this stage, with last year’s going the way of Vlora FC by a score of 5-1. Both sides had decidedly makeshift appearance, with Vlora bringing in U21 players and Blizzard borrowing from their MASL indoor roster.

At half-time it was 0-0 and it was only 1-1 with 20 minutes left. The Minneapolitan Diego Yang proved the key man as he opened the game’s scoring in the 47th minute and after they went behind to a brace from Adonay Hans in the 52nd and 57th minutes, it was Yang who scored his second and third in the 62nd and 70th minutes to put the visitors back ahead. The icing to the first round cake was applied by Bertrand Ngo in the 90th minute.

United Serbian SC (WI, MPL)
4:3
Bavarian United SC (WI, MWPL)
Heartland Value Funds Stadium, Glendale, WI

A game split over two days closed out Round 1 in Region II, as United Serbian Soccer Club beat Bavarian United SC, 4-3.

Originally scheduled for April 2, the game played out for 30 minutes with both teams getting on the scoresheet. Nemanja Medic struck first for the Serbians while Jack Bowden equalized for Bavarians. Weather closed in and heavy rain made the field unplayable in the 30th minute.

The game resume a few days later on April 7th, with both teams allowed to change their lineups based on availability. Aleksandar Prpa took five minutes and five days to get USSC back in front, while Medic notched his brace after nearly half a week break from his first goal. The game remained fast paced with the ball rarely staying in the middle of the field for long. That allowed Bavarians’ Sam Yarmulnik to notch a late goal to make it 3-2 just before halftime.

The fast pace continued into the second half but the scoring slowed down. It took nearly 20 minutes for Petar Krecak to score what would be the game-winning goal, though the home side tried to push until the end. A late penalty for Bavarians’ Buran Huseini, who missed the first one but was allowed to retake after the referee called the goalkeeper for being off the line on the save before converting the second chance, was not enough.

Its a second straight year of disappointment for Bavarian. After winning the National Amateur Cup in 2022, United lost in the final in back to back years the next two tournaments. In 2025, after being given a bye to the Quarterfinals as defending regional finalists, the side lost to RWB Adria in their first game. This marks a second straight one-and-done performance in the tournament for the six-time amateur cup champions. United Serbian reached Round 2 last year before losing to Vlora FC, 6-2.
