The last time a soccer team won the U.S. Open Cup title was in 1988 when Louis Busch Seniors won the title by defeating Greek-American A.C. 2-1 in extra time when the game was played at St. Louis Soccer Park. St. Louis City SC is one win away after defeating the Colorado Rapids in Commerce City, Colorado 3-0 Wednesday Night.

There was no score until in 32 minute of the match Sangbin Jeong recorded his second goal of his career in the U. S. Open Cup tournament after capitalizing on a goalkeeper mistake to give St. Louis a 1-0. Then Simon Betcher gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead by finishing off a counterattack set up by Conrad Wallem.

Alex Măța put the nail in the coffin in the 59th minute to help St. Louis advance to the U. S. Open Cup Final and the chance to win a trophy for the franchise. Wednesday Night’s victory also extended the franchise club-record unbeaten streak to 17 matches across all competitions, as City SC have emerged as one of Major League Soccer’s hottest teams over the past several months. They hope to extend it when they play against Toronto FC Saturday Night at Home. St. Louis will play against the Columbus Crew October 21st at 7 pm in Columbus.
