USL Cup QF Reaction, July POTM, Cal Jennings Returns, Playoff Picture Becomes Clearer, plus much more!

So there you have it, Gio's take.

My older brother, who's actually a San Antonio fan, of all things.

So they have pledged their allegiance.

It was Alex Crognolli who brought everyone in for that huddle, by the way.

A football video support becoming a factor big time twice.

in this matchup and I mean he did say flying cock people were saying flying knee it was a giant leaping sort of like a Rey Mysterio jump on Rocha which denied a 2v1 break it would have led for Miami to have played continued so Suarez was initially shown yellow but then head coach Gaston Madoni had requested a review the review happened the decision was upgraded to red and leaving San Antonio down to 10 men, which was important.

But San Antonio handled the setback, as Gio said.

In the 44th minute, Jorge Hernandez split the Miami back line with a through ball.

Christian Perrano finished inside the near post to put San Antonio ahead.

And then Miami nearly answered in stoppage time, but Truni tipped Acosta's effort over the bar.

And then in the 64th minute in the second half, the same duo strikes again.

Hernandez plays Perrano in behind.

Perrano rounds Eloy Roon before finishing it into an open net.

And Miami's night got harder in the 74th minute when Harold Diaz was sent off after another video review, this time requested by San Antonio's head coach, Carlos Lamosa.

Five minutes later, Diego Melo crossed for Arnie Rocha.

who had been fouled for the initial red card, in the first half.

This time, he puts it away with a nice, you know, sort of jumping volley to make it 2-1, but it's too little, too late.

Miami did find a way sort of to get another chance with Dalton Knutson heading it over into the, heading it over to the goal in the 97th minute, but Petruni made the save, and San Antonio advanced to the USL Cup semifinals.

We talked about being down to 10 men.

Brother Gio referencing a match we saw at the Women's European Tournament Back in 2025.

And that was a match between Germany and France.

In ironically as well the quarter finals.

So that was maybe coming full circle a little bit.

But that match had went to penalties.

That was a cool thing that happened over here in Switzerland.
