Game Thread: Philadelphia Union vs Richmond Kickers, U.S. Open Cup 4th Round

The Open Cup is back for the fourth round with MLS teams now in the fray and since the Philadelphia Union never seem to travel for their first game in the tournament, they’ll be hosting Richmond Kickers at 7 p.m.

The Kickers have had mixed results in three previous trips to Pennsylvania this season — the first two were lopsided wins to the Bethlehem Steel FC, the last was a 1-1 draw with Reading United the Kickers advanced through on penalties.

The Union will be the fifth Pennsylvania team the Kickers have faced this season, having just lost in league play to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at home after beating Penn FC in the third round of the competition at home.
