Minnesota United goalkeeper Tyler Miller saved two penalties to see his side go through at the expense of Columbus Crew after Chase Gasper converted the clinching penalty for Minnesota.
Osvaldo Alonso, Jan Gregus, Aaron Schoenfeld, and Raheem Edwards also converted their spot-kicks for the Loons, who were deserving of passage to the next round after playing most of the match on their terms.
