The Dynamo broke the deadlock in the 47th minute when Swedish fullback Adam Lundkvist whipped a sweetly struck corner kick to Mauro Manotas, who directed the ball into the back of the net past an outstretched Bobby Shuttlesworth. It gave Manotas his 5th career Open Cup goal in seven tournament appearances.
Both teams grinded through a quiet first half where the Dynamo outshot Minnesota United eight to three.
