On a positively sweltering night in Houston, Minnesota United came into their Round of 16 matchup against the Dynamo with last year’s result on their mind. In 2018, the Loons defeated then-USL side FC Cincinnati to advance to the U.S. Open Cup’s fifth round only to be undone by Houston. While the opening half found the visitors consistently on the back foot and headed into the locker room down two goals, MNUFC would seize the day in the second half with a formation change and come roaring back to a 3-2 win on the back of a brace from midfielder Darwin Quintero and a game-winner from forward Mason Toye.
