Both clubs scored goals in the second half, but Bryan Gaul gave St. Louis the equalizer in the 79' minute. The goal would prove to be the one to send the match to extra time and onto Penalty Kicks in which St. Louis won (3-1), giving them the 2-1 victory. The win moved St. Louis onto face Sporting Kansas City in the Open Cup.

With the news of two Fire loanees, Louisville City returning home for the first time in three games, and a lot of key victories as of lately, the crowd is expected to be a large one.
