FC Cincinnati to host Chicago Fire in U.S. Open Cup fifth round

FC Cincinnati will continue its run in the U.S Open Cup with a home game against the Chicago Fire.

U.S. Soccer conducted the fifth-round draw on Thursday, one day after USL club Cincinnati drew 30,000 people to Nippert Stadium for a 1-0 win over MLS's Columbus Crew SC.

Another lower-division side, Miami FC of the NASL, were also handed a home game against Atlanta United after beating Orlando City on Wednesday.

The only other non-MLS team in the draw, Sacramento Republic, will have to play at the LA Galaxy.

Both Cincinnati and Sacramento are among the 12 MLS cities vying to join MLS as expansion teams. Miami FC is separate from the David Beckham-led effort to bring an MLS team to South Florida.
