2007 U.S. Open Cup final
The 2007 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final was played on October 3, 2007, at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. The match determined the winner of the 2007 U.S. Open Cup, a tournament open to amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation. This was the 94th edition of the oldest ongoing competition in United States soccer. The match was won by the New England Revolution, who defeated FC Dallas 3–2. New England's goals were scored by Pat Noonan, Taylor Twellman, and Wells Thompson, and the win marked the club's first ever trophy.
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is an annual soccer competition open to adult teams in the United States that are affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation. Its 40 participants include professional and amateur teams, with the exception of reserve and academy teams that are directly owned and operated by Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs. The 2007 tournament was the 94th edition of the U.S. Open Cup, the oldest cup competition in the United States.
Pairings for the competition were announced on Tuesday, May 29, 2007. The 2007 tournament was the first since 2002 to not include all Major League Soccer teams. Instead, MLS had eight teams in the tournament; six qualified automatically, while the remaining six US-based sides participated in a playoff for the final two positions.
Both of the finalists, the New England Revolution and FC Dallas play in MLS, and both teams entered the tournament in the third round. The teams had met 29 times previously, with 19 wins for the Revolution, 9 wins for FC Dallas, and one draw. The two teams had never met before in an Open Cup match.
The New England Revolution (nicknamed the Revs) entered MLS in the league's inaugural season, 1996. The Revs had yet to win trophy in their history. The Revs had previously advanced to the Open Cup final in 2001, losing 2–1 in extra time to the LA Galaxy. Additionally, the Revs reached the 2002, 2005, and 2006 MLS Cup Finals, but lost each of these games. Both the 2005, and 2006 finals were played at Pizza Hut Park, which would host the 2007 U.S. Open Cup Final.
The Revs entered the tournament in the third round, facing the Rochester Raging Rhinos on June 12 away at PAETEC Park in Rochester, New York in front of a crowd of 8,551 people. They took an early lead thanks to a Steve Ralston goal in the 19th minute, and later doubled the lead in the 67th minute with a goal from Taylor Twellman. The Rhinos managed to bring the game level thanks to two goals from Hamed Diallo, although the Revs pulled ahead again with an 89th minute goal from Twellman, and a stoppage time goal off of a penalty from Ralston.
Their quarterfinals fixture was a home matchup against the Harrisburg City Islanders played at Gillette Stadium in front of a crowd of 1,512 people on August 8. The Revs took an early lead in this game with goals in the 3rd and 17th minutes from Andy Dorman and Taylor Twellman respectively. Despite a long-range goal from the Islanders' Matt Tanzini with 12 minutes left to play, the Revs held on and advanced to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, the Revs faced the Carolina RailHawks in New Britain, Connecticut on September 4. The match was attended by 4,203 people. The RailHawks took a quick lead with a 6th minute goal from Anthony Maher. A confrontation led to the Revolution's Shalrie Joseph and the RailHawks' Connally Edozien being sent off in the 42nd minute, and the Revs equalized thanks to a Jeff Larentowicz goal in first-half stoppage time. The RailHawks saw another dismissal, with David Stokes shown red late in the second half for a pull on Adam Cristman. Early in extra time, Pat Noonan scored the game-winning goal, securing the Revs' place in the final.
