HARRISON, N.J. – The New York Red Bulls rallied twice and then advanced on penalties to the next round of the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
New York and FC Dallas finished 2-2 after extra time, and the Red Bulls won it from the penalty spot 4-3 to move into the final eight of the tournament.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (first), Noah Eile (second), Daniel Edelman (fourth) and Emil Forsberg (fifth) all converted their penalty attempts, while A.J. Marcucci saved Pedrinho's shot to send New York through.

FC Dallas opened the scoring in the 28th minute when midfielder Bernard Kamungo received a pass from Petar Musa and fired a shot into the right side of the net.
The Red Bulls equalized in the 63rd minute when midfielder Dennis Gjengaar laid the ball off for captain Daniel Edelman, whose shot fell to forward Mohammed Sofo. Sofo finished with a low strike into the back of Dallas’ net.
Dallas regained the lead in the 78th minute when midfielder Luciano Acosta found the ball in New York’s 18-yard box and slotted his shot into the upper left-hand corner.
