D.C. United is gearing up for a crucial showdown against Nashville SC in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal at GEODIS Park, set to kick off at 90 p.m. ET. Following a frustrating 0-0 league draw against Atlanta United FC, the stakes are high for United, especially after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Nashville on June 28, where Sam Surridge`s early penalty proved decisive.

The return of key players Christian Benteke, João Peglow, and Jackson Hopkins from injury injects fresh hope into the squad. Their presence could be pivotal as United looks to capitalize on their talent and experience to advance in the tournament. The team has shown resilience, having reached this stage after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Charlotte FC, ultimately triumphing 2-1 in a penalty shootout, thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Jordan Farr, who saved four penalties, and young forward Jacob Murrell, who thrived under pressure.
