The Columbus Crew advanced to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final in dramatic fashion on Sept. 10 at Crew Stadium, coming back from a two-goal deficit midway through the second half to defeat the Kansas City Wizards 3-2 in overtime in a U.S. Open Cup semifinal. Second-half substitute John Wilmar Perez scored the game-tying goal two minutes into second-half stoppage time, then banged in the winner 18 minutes into overtime.
