CHICAGO – Saint Louis FC will play host to former USL Championship foe FC Cincinnati while New Mexico United will visit Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas in the Round of 16 in the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup after the draw was made on Thursday morning at the U.S. Soccer Federation’s Soccer House.

Both Saint Louis FC and New Mexico United are in the Round of 16 for the first time in their histories, with STLFC having earned its first victory against an opponent from Major League Soccer at its third attempt in the competition as it defeated the Chicago Fire 2-1 on Tuesday night at Harlen C. Hunter Stadium. Head Coach Anthony Pulis’ side will now get the chance to square off with Cincinnati next Wednesday night at World Wide Technology Soccer Park, which advanced to the Round of 16 after a 2-1 victory against defending USL Cup champion Louisville City FC at Nippert Stadium on Wednesday night.
