Per Chicago House FC on Twitter:
Remarkable.....hosts had, but did not use: press box, corner flags, showers, locker rooms, restrooms, or.....lights. A satisfying win. @usopencup , where strange happens.
Per Peter Wilt on Twitter:
THIS is the winning PK for @ChicagoHouse_AC . I think it was by Vuka Bulatovic. I took the video next to the goal & barely made out the ball, the keeper & the PK taker. No lights, no press box, no locker rooms, no bathrooms, no showers no scoreboard, no corner flags. One big win!
Per US Open Cup on Twitter
