The Houston Dynamo advanced to the Quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 1-0 win over Minnesota United FC tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium.
With the win, Houston will host Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, July 18 at 7:30 p.m. It will be the fourth consecutive year in which the Dynamo and Sporting meet in the Open Cup, and the fifth meeting overall in the tournament.
After a scoreless first half, the Dynamo got on the board just after the start of the second half. In the 47th minute, defender Adam Lundkvist whipped in an in-swinging corner kick from the right side and found forward Mauro Manotas at the near post, where he flicked a headed shot into the net.
