U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal draw: Philadelphia Union host NY Red Bulls, Minnesota United face Chicago Fire

The quarterfinals are set for the U.S. Open Cup, with the last eight teams standing now able to map out their path to the final of the United States’ most historic soccer competition.

Regional matchups will take center stage during the quarterfinals, with the Philadelphia Union hosting the New York Red Bulls and Minnesota United welcoming the Chicago Fire. Nashville SC, meanwhile, will take on D.C. United and the San Jose Earthquakes will face Austin FC to round out the final eight.

The quarterfinalists took varied approaches to reach this stage, some winning their round of 16 matches in more dramatic fashion than others. The Fire, Austin and the Union all notched lopsided wins this week, the Union ousting the last non-MLS side – the USL Championship’s Pittsburgh Riverhounds – on Wednesday. Minnesota, Nashville and San Jose, meanwhile, got through after one-goal wins while the Red Bulls and D.C. needed a penalty shootout to book their spot in the last eight.

The matches will take place during the week of July 7, with all coverage airing across the platforms of CBS Sports.
