League Cup, Round of 16 Wednesday, August 14, 2024 – Stadium: Dick’s Sporting Goods Park – Referee: Oscar Mejía
FULL-TIME
0-1, min. 44, Navarro. 1-1, min. 83, Paulinho. 1-2, min. 96, Yapi.
The Devils lost to the Colorado Rapids in a game in which they were not on their side. They had several chances and failed to capitalize on them. A mistake by Méndez ended up costing them dearly.

Toluca took the lead when Maxi Araújo and Jesús Angulo took advantage of a defensive error. Just a few minutes later, Ezequiel Ponce equalised; VAR had to intervene to confirm the goal, which had initially been disallowed for offside.
In the second half, Micael dos Santos Silva scored from a set piece. Volpi was put to the test, but Ezequiel Ponce reappeared and scored the third goal, but it was disallowed for offside. Héctor Herrera assisted Amine Bassi for the fourth goal, but this was also disallowed for offside. In the end, Houston pulled away and Toluca equalized the match in the 96th minute with a goal from “Gacelo” López, sending the match to penalties.
A very close penalty shootout in which Tiago Volpi stepped up on Houston’s fourth penalty and allowed Toluca to pass.
