sportsOct 22, 2026351,036

St. Louis City SC beat Columbus Crew 0-0 after 120 minutes and won the 2026 U.S. Open Cup 5-3 on penalties. Daniel Edelman converted the decisive spot kick to seal the shootout. Goalkeeper Ben Lundt made key saves in the shootout and had earlier been credited with penalty heroics for City during this Cup run. The victory is St. Louis City SC's first trophy in club history. The win also restores the Open Cup to St. Louis, marking the 11th U.S. Open Cup title claimed by a St. Louis side and the city’s seventh different champion. Yoann Damet, the club’s young head coach, presided over the run that delivered the trophy to CITY.

The city of St. Louis had 10 U.S. Open Cup winning teams from 1920-1988. St. Louis City made a point to prioritize this tournament for the city and fans. After joining MLS in 2023, STL wins their first trophy. Fittingly, the U.S. Open Cup. Now the 11th winner from their city.

I can't revel in this moment without mentioning the supporters groups who boycotted the leagues cup to tell the front office that the open cup is so so important that message was heard because of that boycott, and we are here because of it

St. Louis winning the USOC maaaay be a good thing for #FCDallas. If they can finish in the top three, there is a chance they could claim a CCC spot for next year.

NEW: The US Open Cup is back in familiar territory, with St. Louis City outlasting Columbus to give the city its 11th title as its seventh champion. Scruffy play in a scoreless 120’, with Daniel Edelman and Ben Lundt the shootout heroes. Yoann Damet laughs last: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

So, about the “Have you ever won a Cup” chant last night: 1. YOU DON’T DO IT WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING FOR A CUP BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE THEIR ANSWER IS “WE HAVE NOW” 🙄 2. You don’t do it against a city that has already won 11 of them 🙄🙄 #CAPOING101 #Crew96

Now that its over I can go back to thinking of Open Cup as a D list compitition. #crew96
