St. Louis City SC win 2026 U.S. Open Cup on penalties

sportsOct 22, 202629708

St. Louis City SC captured the club’s first trophy by beating Columbus Crew 0-0 before winning the 2026 U.S. Open Cup on penalties 5-3. The match remained scoreless through 120 minutes, and goalkeeper Ben Lundt and penalty taker Daniel Edelman stood out in the shootout, with Edelman converting the game-winning spot kick. The final was played in Columbus, and St. Louis City’s victory returns the Open Cup to the St. Louis area, which posts note now totals 11 tournament titles across local clubs. Yoann Damet, St. Louis City’s head coach, led the club to the milestone in his first major final with the team. The Guardian account described scrappy play across the match and highlighted Lundt and Edelman as the decisive performers.

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

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...
