Today in #USOpenCup history (May 30, 2012): If you saw our Twitter thread yesterday (usopencup), Round 3 was one of the all-time craziest rounds. On May 29, *7* #MLS teams were upset (1 by amateur team) & 3 survived some big scares. On May 30, there were 2 games & one was among the greatest upsets ever.

After winning road games vs. Kitsap Pumas (a rare pro team in the #PDL) and the Wilmington Hammerheads (#USL Pro), CalFootballClub, led by head coach EricWynalda, was given another road game, this time against Portland #Timbers of MLS.

#PTFC registered 37 shots & Cal FC managed to hold off them off, with Derby Carrillo making 15 saves over 120 mins. Cal FC received a gift in the 80th min. because Kris Boyd, the Scottish Premier League's (#SPFL) all-time leading scorer, skied a PK over the bar.

In the 95th min. Danny Barrera assisted Artur Aghasyan on the game-winning goal, making Cal FC the 1st Open Division Local (#USASA) team to not only score a goal vs. an #MLS team, but the 1st to eliminate one without needing PKs.

The upset got the world's attention, trending WORLDWIDE on #Twitter. It was a special round as the FlintCityBucks (Michigan Bucks) upset #cf97 the day before as well. No amateur team has upset a #MLS team in the US Open Cup since.
