Sacramento or no strangers to the open cup. They are still fully professional, but they do reside in our second division. They knocked off three MLS teams in 2022 to be the first non-MLS team since 2008 to make the final. The final was scoreless on the road in an MLS stadium in the 75th minute before they gave up three goals in the final 15 minutes to lose. A non-MLS team has not won the competition since 1999 but they are one of only three teams since then to have made a final. Their fan support is incredible too. They had almost 11,000 fans there for this game.

Sacramento are one of three lower division teams onto the quarterfinals. the quarterfinal plays out like this: Sporting Kansas City (MLS) versus FC Dallas (MLS) Atlanta United (MLS) versus Indy 11 (USL championship) LAFC (MLS) versus New Mexico United (USL championship) Sacramento Republic (USL championship) versus Seattle sounders (MLS)

hopefully a lower league team can get far and maybe win it. that would be fun

[@gracielynn9623]

@@thepartydeacon87 if a lower league team did win the competition then they would make continental champions league. The U.S. Open cup winner gets a spot in the first round of the champions league.

I’m not sure how exactly they did it but Sacramento does have a player that played in this game who is on loan from Huddersfield town. Just a little interesting nugget.
