The Greens got off to the perfect start with a goal from Omar Gordon in the 2nd minute. Callum Ross’s first-time volley found Gordon open on the right wing, and the forward went at his defender and fired a shot from the top of the box that bounced in off the near post and past Tampa Bay goalkeeper Chris Konopka.

In the 19th minute, Alvin Jones was judged to have fouled Antoine Hoppenot in the box. Brandon Allen stepped up to convert the penalty and level the score in the 20th minute.

Just four minutes later, the visitors took the lead. Zach Steinberger found Hoppenot streaking across the middle of the field, and the Frenchman’s shot from the top of the 'D' flew past the outstretched Bryan Byars.

Alexy Bosetti arguably outdid his French counterpart to level the score in the 27th minute. Bosetti took advantage of a poor clearance, settled and curled a shot with the outside of the right foot that nestled in the top left corner of the goal.

Bosetti was involved again in the final goal of the first half, as another poor clearance fell his way in the 32nd minute. Instead of having a go himself, the midfielder slipped in Christian Eissele who picked out the far post from just inside the penalty area to put OKC ahead.

Two minutes after the second-half restart, Tampa Bay equalized. Steinberger slipped a pass into Allen behind the defense and the forward smashed it past Byars from close range for his second goal of the night.

The Greens found the winning goal in the 60th minute from substitute Deshorn Brown. Gordon’s cross from the right wing found its way to Bosetti after Brown was tripped up near the top of the penalty area. Instead of shooting, Bosetti laid the ball off to Brown, who stopped talking with the official just in time to turn around, take a touch and drive the ball past Konopka.

The Greens will wait to see which MLS opponent they will face in the fourth round when the draw is held Thursday morning.
