Over the last few years, and perhaps going back even further, two of the best local amateur sides in the Metroplex have been NTX Rayados of Dallas and Inocentes FC of Fort Worth. Rayados - who play in the NTPSA, the top level of amateur soccer in Dallas - has qualified for 8 straight US Open Cup tournaments. Inocentes - who play in the UPSL - made it all the way to the UPSL Final earlier this year.

Both sides are now taking part in amateur qualifying for the 2020 US Open Cup and played their First Round games last weekend.

On Saturday, Rayados defeated UPSL side FC Fort Worth by a 4-2 scoreline.

For their part, Inocentes knocked off fellow UPSL side Lone Star Republic 2-1.

Those two victories mean these top tier local sides now meet up in the Second Round. Via the draw that took place on Monday, NTX Rayados will host Inocentes FC. Only one side will advance to the Third Round and hold the all-important "Best Team in the Metroplex" local bragging rights.

The Battle for the Metroplex between NTX Rayados and Inocentes FC will take place at Premier Park, Field 1; Balch Springs, Texas, at 7 pm CT on October 19th.
