Match Info

DC United and the Charleston Battery played to a 0-0 draw in the United States Open Cup on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. The stalemate at Audi Field in Washington, D.C., meant the tie would be decided by a penalty shootout, where the lower-division Battery famously triumphed to eliminate the MLS side in a major cup upset. The match itself was a cagey affair, with both teams cautious about overcommitting in the early rounds of the knockout tournament. DC United had the better of possession but struggled to break down a resolute Charleston defense, while the Battery threatened on the counter-attack. The game's key moment came late in regular time when Charleston's goalkeeper made a spectacular double save to deny DC a certain winner, sending the match directly to penalties. The shootout victory for the USL Championship side underscored the magic of the Open Cup, where anything can happen.
