Generation adidas Cup Day 5 recap: Bryan Destin and Inter Miami CF defeat Atlanta United to advance to quarterfinals

New York City FC 1, Charlotte FC 0

High drama ensued when the two MLS sides met in the Round of 16. A set piece opened the door for New York City FC, as Mikhail Zaretser finished a cross from Tyler Morck to put the Cityzens up by a goal.

There was ample drama at the end of the game, however. After a Charlotte FC attacker was taken down in the box, NYCFC goalkeeper Alexander Yagudayev saved Kemp Wilson’s penalty kick to hold on for the narrow victory.

LA Galaxy 2, Manchester United 2

Manchester United advanced past LA Galaxy, winning a penalty shootout 5-4 in an entertaining clash.

The Galaxy erased a pair of one-goal deficits to make it to penalties. Adam Berry put United up four minutes into the game, curling home a free kick from the top of the box. LA equalized immediately, as Diego Lopez slotted Justin Knighton down the left flank, and Knighton blasted home the tying goal. United retook the lead just before the half, Berry hit the post from a free kick and Ethan Wheatley pounced on the rebound.

Brandon Tellez tied the game for the Galaxy, scoring directly from a corner kick in the 52nd minute. That sent the game to penalties, and Manchester United goalkeeper Thomas Wooster’s save on Diego Rodriguez made up the difference, as United converted all five attempts.
