Three more MLS clubs were eliminated in the Round of 16 highlighted (or lowlighted depending on your allegiances) by another upset win for the Harrisburg City Islanders (USLP). This time Harrisburg City took out the New York Red Bulls behind a pair of goals from former Red Bull Sainey Touray and an insurance goal from Lucky Mkosana as they advanced to the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals. The Islanders have now eliminated five MLS teams since 2007.

Here's a look at the other seven games played yesterday:

*Sporting KC advanced with a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids behind a first half own goal and an insurance goal from Teal Bunbury in the second half.

*Freddy Adu assisted on Antoine Hoppenot's extra time game winner as the Union knocked off DC United by a score of 2-1.

*The Charlotte Eagles (USLP) followed their 2-0 win over FC Dallas with a 2-1 win over the San Antonio Scorpions (NASL) thanks to an extra time penalty kick from Mauricio Salles.

* Juan Agudelo put Chivas USA up early, and Juan Pablo Angel won it with a stoppage time penalty kick as the Goats edged out the Carolina RailHawks (NASL) by a score of 2-1.
