PGE Park (original) (raw)
San Jose advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2004 US Open Cup with a 3-0 win over the Portland Timbers. The Timbers played most of the match with 10 men, after defender Gavin Wilkinson was sent off for a rough foul on San Jose's Brian Ching. The foul was a double blow to Portland, since it occurred in the penalty area , and Ronnie Ekelund scored from the spot to give the Earthquakes the only goal they would need. After the ejection and penalty, Portland lost the momentum they had, leaving the 10,622 fans to leave Portland's PGE park disappointed.

The Rochester Raging Rhinos revisited their MLS giant-killing days, knocking off the New England Revolution on penalties. Pat Noonan started the scoring for the Revs on a cross from Richie Baker in the 7th minute. The Rhinos' Kirk Wilson teamed up with Doug Miller to draw the game level 16 minutes into the second half. Rochester played at 10 men for the final 48 minutes of regulation and extra time when Bill Sedgewick was booked a second time. Once the game went to penalties, Rochester goalkeeper Theo Zagar became the star, stopping two New England shots from Jay Heaps and Clint Dempsey, allowing Carlos Mendez to send the Rhinos to the quarterfinals with his penalty.

On the strength of two goals from Jamaican international Damani Ralph, the Chicago Fire outlasted the Columbus Crew in extra time, 2-1. Despite Chicago controlling much of the early play, the Crew scored first, Frankie Hejduk heading home a goal past Fire 'keeper Henry Ring. The Fire answered back 19 minutes into the second half, when Andy Williams was brought down in the penalty area. Although Jon Busch was able to get a hand on the ball, he was unable to stop the powerful shot from Damani Ralph, leveling the game at one. Both teams slugged it out into extra time, where the Crew were left a man short after 97 minutes when Edson Buddle was sent off for a foul on Fire defender Logan Pause. Just as it seemed the first half of extra time would end, Chicago struck the game winner, a header from Ralph off a free kick from Chris Armas, and the Fire were through to the quarterfinals.

One of the attractive qualities of cup competitions is that is give clubs struggling in their league play a chance to salvage something in their season. Such is the case of the Charleston Battery. Mired in an uncharacteristically dismal season in the A-League, the Battery have taken advantage of their position in the US Open Cup, pulling off a 1-0 upset victory of the MetroStars from Major League Soccer. Charleston game out aggressive, and both clubs had good chances, but the 1st half ended scoreless. Just after halftime, the Battery found the magical goal. Steve Klein collected a loose ball, and sent it over a sliding Zach Wells for the go ahead goal. The Metros pressed for the tying goal, and thought they found it when Eddie Gaven was brought down in the area and awarded a penalty. Mike Magee stepped up and sent the ball off the crossbar, ending the threat and breathing new life into Charleston's lost season.

With one of the largest crowds in the Richmond Kickers 11-year history on hand to greet teenage phenom Freddy Adu and his DC United teammates, the Kickers sent the 8,776 fans home happy for a different reason, a 2-1 upset win over the eventual MLS champions. An unimpressive United, short stars Ben Olsen, Earnie Stewart and Bobby Convey to injury, were never quite in the game in the first half. McColm Cephas took advantage when Mike Petke misplayed a ball deep in his own half, chipping it over goalkeeper Nick Rimando to go up 1-0 after 33 minutes. DC came alive in the second half, but Cephas struck again, this time on a one-timer from Joey Worthen. United finaly got on the board late in the game, when United newcomer Nana Kuffour heading in a corner from Freddy Adu, but it was too little too late, as the Kickers chalked up a historic fourth win in the round for A-League clubs over MLS sides.
