Countdown to the Cup - Nine Days
Published on September 17, 2018 under Major League Soccer (MLS)
Houston Dynamo FC News Release
FUN WITH NUMBERS - 9: Houston's No. 9, forward Mauro Manotas, has used the U.S. Open Cup as a launching pad in his young career with the Dynamo. The striker, who scored his first-ever goal with the Dynamo in the Open Cup in 2016, already owns the club scoring record in this tournament with eight in his career. If he can score in the Final, he would tie for the Golden Boot in this year's tournament with five goals. Two goals in the Final would win him the Golden Boot outright.
QUEREMOS LA COPA: We want the Cup, and we want you to be a part of the conversation about it! The Dynamo encourage Houston-area media to talk about the U.S. Open Cup Final on your own social media platforms using #QueremosLaCopa. The hashtag, which translates to "We want the Cup," originated from a tifo that El Batallón, one of the club's official supporters groups, unfurled at the Open Cup Semifinal match on July 18 against Los Angeles FC.
TICKETS: Tickets for the U.S. Open Cup Final are still available, starting as low as $29. Fans may purchase tickets online at HoustonDynamo.com, by phone at 713-276-GOAL (713-276-4625) or at the BBVA Compass Stadium box office.
