Houston Dynamo FC advanced to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal on Wednesday night, following a 2-1 comeback win over Louisville City FC. The Dynamo winger Duane Holmes was taken down in the box, earning a penalty in the eighth minute. Jack McGlynn, making his first start since returning from injury, stepped up to the spot and fired, but the shot was saved onto the post to keep the score level at 0-0. The score would remain level for the first forty-five minutes, with both teams coming close but unable to capitalize on promising first half attacks. Louisville would break the deadlock in the 67th minute, as Ray Serrano tapped home first time, assisted by Chris Donovan on the break. The lead would remain until the 89th minute, when Erik Sviatchenko dove to connect with a header just past the outstretched arm of Lou City goalkeeper Collin Haus to equalize. Sviatchenko's late equalizer sent the match to extra time, and the Dynamo would take advantage of the extra time. Ezequiel Ponce fired home on the quick turn at the top of the box after a great low feed from Herrera to give the Dynamo the lead in the extra frame. With the win, Houston advances to the US Open Cup Quarterfinal, set to take place in three weeks. The draw for quarterfinal matchups and hosting priority will be held tomorrow morning. In MLS play, the Dynamo next host the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, May 2, for a Western Conference matchup, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT at Shell Energy Stadium. The Dynamo's win over Louisville City FC was a crucial step towards their goal of winning the U.S. Open Cup title. And now, they will wait to see who their next opponent will be in the Quarterfinal. But for now, they can celebrate their hard-fought win. So, the Dynamo will look to build on this momentum as they head into their next match against the Colorado Rapids.
