MLS Open Cup

May 20 1998
1996 Dallas	0		1997 Columbus	2
			Pete Marino 39 Ansil Elcock 70
			Half-Time: 0-1
The visiting Crew knock out the Burn with a strong performance. Dallas had several strong chances early in the second half to level the match, but couldn't convert.
1996 NY/NJ	2		1996 Los Angeles	0
A.J. Wood 6 Nicola Caricola 26
			Half-Time: 2-0
The Galaxy control the run of play, but are unable to create many threats. The Metros, meanwhile, make the most of their chances and move on to the next round.
1996 Kansas City	0		1997 Dallas	0
Kansas City and Dallas should be sick of each other by now. Unfortunately, they'll have to see each other again next week as neither team scored, resulting in a replay match in Dallas.
1997 New England	2		1997 San Jose	1
Ivan McKinley 1 Joe-Max Moore Pen 86			Dominic Kinnear 6
			Half-Time: 1-1
Goals come early for both teams (and in the Revs' case, VERY early), but then the defenses clamp down until an 86th minute penalty decision goes against the Clash. Joe-Max Moore converts the penalty and the Revs are on to round two.
1996 Columbus	1		1997 Los Angeles	2
Ricardo Iribarren 51			Harut Karapetyan 13 Welton 84
			Half-Time: 0-1
A tight battle in Columbus as the Crew and Galaxy go at it for the second time in 11 days. This time, however, there is a result as the Galaxy claim the win with a late goal.
1997 Tampa Bay	3		1996 Colorado	3
Alan Prampin 6 Roy Lassiter 16 Musa Shannon 28			Matt Kmosko 14 Steve Trittschuh 27 Scott Benedetti 63
			Half-Time: 3-2
Possibly the most entertaining and yet most bizarre match in any competition this year. The teams swap goals for the first first 28 minutes of the match, but then neither side can score after that until the Rapids get the equalizer in the 63rd minute. All those goals and it goes to waste as they'll have to replay the tie next week in Denver.
1997 NY/NJ	2		1996 San Jose	3
Roberto Donadoni 22 Giovanni Savarese 73			Eric Wynalda Pen 76 Ben Iroha 86 97 NY Own Goal og 90
			Half-Time: 1-0
The Metros look all set to advance with a 2-0 lead, but a red card in the 76th minute puts the Metros down a man and sparks a stunning collapse, complete with an own-goal cherry-on-top finish in injury time.
1996 New England	1		1997 Colorado	0
Joe-Max Moore 58
			Half-Time: 0-0
Not exactly a scintillating affair in Foxboro, but a win is a win and the Revs advance.
