This though would see them short at the back and Columbus striker Christian Ramirez would be played through and find himself on a counter along with teammate Isaiah Parente. The next two goals for the Crew would only be four minutes apart, the first coming from Loudoun pushing up the pitch trying to get back into the game. The goal would be only his second of his career and the second of the night for Columbus. Columbus would take immediate advantage of the extra man and just eight minutes later it’d be young Sean Zawadzki, who would strike a beauty of a long shot from right outside the box that would curl right into the bottom right of the goal. Then on the edge of the box Loudoun defender Gaoussou Samake would attempt to make a last ditch tackle on Farsi but would instead trip him up, it took the referee no time to make his decision as it would be an immediate red card in the 10th minute. After Columbus took a free kick quickly, fullback Mo Farsi would find himself behind the Loudoun backline and through on goal. It looked as if it was going to be a uphill battle for Loudoun after conceding early but just four minutes things went from bad to worse. Columbus would waste no time in breaking the deadlock as wide playmaker Yaw Yeboah would pounce on a misplaced clearance from the Loudoun backline and would take it first time and slot it home against Loudoun keeper Hugo Fauroux. It is the third-longest such streak in the Modern Era (1995-present). The win ends the Crew’s streak of 10 straight tournaments without advancing in multiple games.

That combination was just too much for the USL Championship side as the Columbus Crew would make easy work of the first year U.S Open Cup team by the score of 5-1. Now, add a red card in the 10th minute and it’s near impossible, even playing at home. It was always going to be a tough game for Loudoun United when facing their first MLS team in club history.
