On Thursday, fourth-round matchups for the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup were announced.
Columbus Crew SC will travel to take on the winner of FC Cincinnati and Louisville FC.
The matchups were determined based on region and the host for each game was decided by coin flip.
The Open Cup holds a special place in longtime Crew SC fans’ hearts. The club won the 2002 tournament 1-0 over the LA Galaxy at MAPFRE Stadium thanks to a goal by midfielder Freddy Garcia. The Black & Gold were also in the final in 1998 — falling 2-1 in extra time to the Chicago Fire at Solider Field — and in 2010 — lost 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders at Qwest Field.
