Major League Soccer

Houston Dynamo FC

Inter Miami CF

Detroit completed one of the US Open Cup's greatest comebacks on Tuesday night, coming from behind to beat Houston Dynamo. The hosts fell behind 2-0 after 40 minutes, but fought all the way back to send the game to extra-time, and then penalties - before winning a tense shootout 10-9.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Game over. GK Carlos Saldaña sends Detroit City FC to the Open Cup Round of 16 for the first time ever by knocking off the defending champs Houston Dynamo. Detroit City is now 2-1 all time against clubs from Major League Soccer. <a href="https://t.co/zEkbSuT0n0">pic.twitter.com/zEkbSuT0n0</a>— Nolan Bianchi (@nolanbianchi) <a href="https://twitter.com/nolanbianchi/status/1788042062127923374?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 8, 2024</a></blockquote>

Pittsburgh Riverhounds eliminated two top-division teams last year, while Sacramento Republic made the cup final the year before.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Houston Dynamo head coach Ben Olsen played down the result: "It's a good punch in the face. But I think they'll respond. We have a good group in there and I think we have the right character to turn this into a positive."

WHAT BEN OLSEN SAID

It's the second time in the last four years that Detroit have beaten an MLS team. The Michigan-based team knocked out Columbus Crew with a 2-1 victory in 2022.

DID YOU KNOW?

Detroit will await the draw to find out their next opponent. It will be the first Round of 16 appearance in club history.
