For Columbus, the semifinal marks a return to this stage of the competition for the first time since 2010. The Crew have won the U.S. Open Cup once, lifting the trophy in 2002, and are now two victories away from adding a second title to the club’s history.
Orlando City are also pursuing their second Open Cup championship after winning the tournament in 2022, when they defeated Sacramento Republic FC in the final. The Lions arrive in Columbus with significant attacking momentum, particularly through Antoine Griezmann.
The French forward scored in Orlando’s 3-0 MLS victory over Toronto FC on September 12, extending his scoring streak to five consecutive matches. He had also scored twice in Orlando’s 3-2 win over Atlanta United earlier in September.
