It was a wild ride as the Dynamo won their US Open Cup semifinal to advance to the finals for the first time in club history. It looked like the Dynamo would win in regulation before a questionable foul was awarded in stoppage time and resulted in the game tying goal for LAFC. After two scoreless extra periods to eight rounds of penalty kicks the Dynamo finally walked away victorious.
LAFC scored in the sixth minute of the game to give the visiting team an early lead. Diego Rossi took advantage of a defensive lapse that put him 1v1 in front of goal.
