Minnesota United will face the Houston Dynamo next Tuesday on the road as part of the U.S. Open Cup.

It's the second consecutive year the Loons advanced to the round of 16 in the tournament, which pits all levels of U.S. soccer against each other. They did so after a 4-1 victory against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday.

Houston won the U.S. Open Cup in 2018. The round of 16 matchup is a rematch of last year, when the Dynamo defeated the Loons 1-0 at Houston.

The teams last played on May 25, with United winning 1-0 at Allianz Field.

The match next Tuesday is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.
