Minnesota United was eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup after a stunning late collapse against San Jose. The Loons held a 2-1 lead with less than 30 minutes left in the match at PayPal Park.

However, the Earthquakes mounted a furious comeback, scoring three goals in just eight minutes to secure a 4-2 victory. This defeat marks another early exit for Minnesota United in the tournament, having been bounced in the round of 16 in previous years.

The match saw Minnesota United struggle with individual errors, a stark contrast to their recent six-match unbeaten streak. San Jose capitalized on defensive lapses, with Beau LeRoux scoring twice and Niko Tsakiris adding another goal to seal the win.

Earlier in the game, Minnesota United had been trailing 1-0 at halftime despite controlling possession for much of the first half. They surged in the second half with an own goal and a go-ahead strike, but it wasn't enough to overcome the late offensive burst from San Jose.
