Sporting Kansas City vs. Indy Eleven

Sporting KC are two games away from lifting a fifth Open Cup title, which would equal Bethlehem Steel and Maccabee Los Angeles for the competition's all-time lead. They last won the nation's oldest domestic tournament in 2017.

After entering the USOC in the Round of 32, Peter Vermes' team defeated lower-division sides Union Omaha and FC Tulsa by a combined 6-1 scoreline. Then came a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over FC Dallas, secured via Dany Rosero's extra-time goal.

Now Indy Eleven, buoyed by a 2-1 upset win against Atlanta United, stand in the way. They're led by former Minnesota United interim coach Sean McAuley, with ex-LA Galaxy forward Augustine Williams and former Orlando City midfielder Cam Lindley both key players.

One programming note: Sporting KC are the only semifinalist that cannot host the USOC final, set for Sept. 25.

Seattle Sounders FC vs. LAFC

• WHERE: Starfire Sports | Tukwila, Washington

Seattle and LAFC clash for the third time in five weeks, this time with a US Open Cup final berth on the line.

LAFC won 3-0 in the previous two meetings, first on July 20 (MLS regular season) and then on Aug. 17 (Leagues Cup quarterfinals). In fact, the Black & Gold are unbeaten in their last nine games (7W-0L-2D) against the Sounders.

Momentum could shift towards Seattle, though, as LAFC are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Columbus in Sunday's Leagues Cup final. Meanwhile, Seattle won 3-2 at Minnesota when MLS games resumed Saturday.

LAFC have already qualified for the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup as the 2024 Leagues Cup runner-up. But Seattle can still qualify via this pathway, adding incentive for 2022 Concacaf Champions Cup winners and four-time Open Cup winners.

2. Indy Eleven host: with a win at Sporting KC and an LAFC loss
3. Seattle Sounders host: with a win over LAFC and an Indy Eleven loss
