Louisville City continued its impressive run so far in its inaugural season by winning its first ever US Open Cup match on the road in Lansing, Michigan.

 

Louisville, of the United Soccer League (the third tier of the American soccer pyramid), will next travel to face the Indy XI of the North American Soccer League (second tier) in the third round. Lansing United Plays in the National Premier Soccer League (fourth tier).

 

For those that don't know, the US Open Cup is a single elimination tournament that encompasses all of the various levels of professional and amateur adult soccer in the United States.

Perhaps worth mentioning: Louisville beat Indy XI 1-0 in a preseason friendly back in March. Maybe doesn't count for much but there we are.

Lansing's keeper made a couple very nice saves in that video.

He did. I'll bet No. 10 Rasmussen thought he had the game-clincher for sure with that one at the 0:50 mark where the keeper just got a toe on it and kicked it over the bar.

 

You been to a game yet, Deuce?

Fourth Round draw just wrapped up.

 

The winner of Louisville CFC and Indy Eleven will travel to play the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer on June 16 or 17.
