U.S. Open Cup: Minnesota rally past 10-man Chicago
The U.S. Open Cup continued on Tuesday with two thrilling quarter-final matches across the United States. Here is what went down. Minnesota rally past 10-man Chicago Scorers: Gutiérrez 26' (P), Yeboah 95', 120' (P); Lod 47'. Red: Gonzalez 25' Advertisement Minnesota United secured a spot in the next round of knockout competition after a 3-1 win over Chicago Fire in extra time. The match was tame throughout the initial 25 minutes of play, with neither side truly on the attack. However, that all changed with a series of theatrical events which occurred within seconds of each other. Chicago Fire first went down to 10 men when Omar Gonzalez used his elbow to hit Julian Gressel in the face. The celebrations of having a man advantage were short-lived for Minnesota, however. Seconds later, more fireworks ensued. Despite just 10 men on the pitch, a challenge from Wil Trapp on Philip Zinckernagel led to a penalty. A confident Brian Gutiérrez subsequently stepped up and scored the opener. Coming out into the second half, Minnesota finally managed to capitalize on that man advantage. The Loons swung possession in their favour (61%) and registered 26 shots to Chicago's 11. Advertisement That surge in attack led to the equalizer. The Fire's back line was caught flatfooted as Minnesota cut through the defence with ease. Robin Lod eventually tapped home at the back post. The tie pushed the match into extra-time, where the man advantage, in addition to tired legs, presumably played a role in deciding the winner. Kelvin Yeboah ultimately snuck behind Jack Elliot to blast home for 2-1. Unlucky for the Fire, they were defending with just nine men at the time of the goal. He later went one better on the stroke of full-time with a penalty of his own for 3-1. Next up on Tuesday, San Jose face Austin. Advertisement Feature image credit: © Jerome Miron-Imagn Images

Three quick second-half tallies lift Loons over Dynamo
Bongokuhle Hlongwane scored a brace as Minnesota United tallied three times in a 11-minute span midway through the second half en route to a 3-1 victory over Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night in Saint Paul, Minn. HT Image Robin Lod also scored a goal and Wessel Speel finished with one save for the Loons , who sit in third place in Major League Soccer's Western Conference. Felipe Andrade scored a goal and Jonathan Bond had one save for Houston , which took its third straight loss. Hlongwane gave the Loons a 1-0 lead in the 60th minute. The midfielder finished a right-footed redirect from the left side of the 6-yard box off a Jefferson Diaz flick-on header from Michael Boxall's long throw-in. Three minute later, Hlongwane smashed in an Anthony Markanich cross from the left baseline to make it 2-0 with his third goal of the season. Lod extended the lead to 3-0 in the 70th minute, drilling a left-footed shot from the left side of the box into the far right corner off a long curling Julian Gressel cross from the right wing. Andrade broke up Speel's bid for his first career MLS clean sheet in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time when he netted a left-footed shot from the middle of the box into the left corner for his third goal. With both teams coming in off two-goal home losses, defense dominated during a chippy, foul-plagued scoreless first half. The two teams combined for just nine shot attempts compared to 20 total fouls, with each side getting just one shot on goal and one yellow card. Houston's best early scoring chance came in the eighth minute when defender Erik Sviatchenko fired a spinning left-footed shot from the center of the box that Speel easily saved. Minnesota's best attempt came in the 33rd minute after Lod stole the ball and passed to a wide-open Markanich at the left edge of the 6-yard box. Markanich scuffed his shot into the side of the net. Boxall, named to his first MLS All-Star team earlier in the day, was originally called for a foul in the penalty box after a slide tackle on Sebastian Kowalczyk in first-half stoppage time. However, after a lengthy video review, it was determined that the foul occurred just outside the box. Ezequiel Ponce's ensuing free kick was then blocked by the wall.

Two cousins killed in Kafr Kassem shooting, suspect arrested
The two victims, cousins Said and Udai Shaaban, both 27, were from Lod and were pronounced dead at Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikva. Two people were murdered in a parking lot next to a restaurant in the city of Kafr Kassem on Friday night, police stated. The two victims, cousins Said and Udai Shaaban, both 27, were from Lod, according to Israeli media, and were pronounced dead at Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikva. Police arrested a 22-year-old suspect in the murders on Highway 40. The suspect is a resident of Ramle, and he will be brought to a hearing with a request to extend his detention. Police are further investigating the incident, with the background likely being criminal, and that it originated from a conflict between two families in the city. Video documentation released from the shooting showed many people trying to take cover, with some shouting for help. Another person was moderately wounded in the incident and was evacuated for medical treatment, Israeli media reported. Magen David Adom personnel said they found the two murdered victims already not breathing when they arrived at the scene of the attack, Israeli media reported. The day before the attack in Kafr Kassem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara due to her absence from a meeting that discussed combating violence and crime in Arab society. "I'm the prime minister, and I'm here—she doesn't show up. Isn't human life important enough?" KAN quoted him as saying.

Messi scores, but short-handed Inter Miami blown out at Minnesota United 4-1
Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Anthony Markanich and Robin Lod each scored goals to lead Minnesota United to a 4-1 victory over Inter Miami on Saturday afternoon in St. Paul, Minn. Minnesota (6-2-4, 22 points) won its second consecutive MLS match and third in a row across all competitions. The Loons handed Inter Miami (6-2-3, 21 points) its most lopsided loss in league play this season. Miami played without forward Luis Suarez, who did not make the trip due to personal reasons, and without left winger Fafa Picault due to illness. Lionel Messi scored his sixth goal this season in MLS play three minutes into the second half to cut Miami's deficit at the time to 2-1. Messi struck when he took a feed from Jordi Alba in the box and quickly redirected the ball into the back of the net near the back post. But disaster struck later in the second half for Inter Miami when Marcelo Weigandt tried to head away a corner kick by Minnesota's Joaquín Pereyra, but unintentionally tapped the ball into his own goal to push the Loons' edge to 3-1 in the 68th minute. Moments later, Minnesota took advantage of the momentum swing on a brilliant play by Tani Oluwaseyi, who beat his defender and delivered a perfect cross to Lod. As he came racing up the middle of the field, Lod fired a shot past Inter Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari to stretch the lead to three in the 70th minute. Minnesota scored on set pieces twice. The first came just before halftime on a throw-in from Michael Boxall. The long toss was headed across the front of the goal by Nicolas Romero to the back post. Markanich positioned himself under the ball quickly and headed it past Ustari in the second minute of first-half stoppage time to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead. Hlongwane scored Minnesota's first goal in the 32nd minute off assists from Carlos Harvey and Pereyra, who drew three Miami defenders away from the goal and fed the ball to Harvey in space. Harvey then sent the ball forward quickly to Hlongwane, who snuck it past Ustari.
