Vermont Green FC, based in Vermont, defeated Portland Hearts of Pine 1-0 in a U.S. Open Cup clash in a regional soccer match, marking the first time in which two clubs were founded in the last five years. Vermont's forward David Ismail scored the only goal of the game, assisted by a well-organized defensive structure and a counterattack-based system. The game was played at a sold out Virtue Field in Burlington, Vermont, with Vermont's next opponents yet to be determined.
