The match was ultimately decided by a penalty shootout that ended with a score of 5-4 in favor of Colorado after seven rounds.
San Jose earned their spot in the quarterfinals by defeating Minnesota United FC with a score of 4-2, highlighted by two goals from Beau Leroux and additional goals from Niko Tsakiris and Jack Skahan.
