The final four of the 2011 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup has been finalised with one club looking to make it three in a row.
Seattle Sounders, winners of the 2009 and 2010 versions of the cup, got past LA Galaxy with a 3-1 victory in Tukwila to set up a semi-final showdown with FC Dallas.
The Texan club, who were beaten in the MLS Cup final last season, are there after defeating Real Salt Lake 2-0 at Pizza Hut Park thanks to goals from Jair Benitez and Jackson Goncalves.
The other semi will see Chicago Fire take on USL Pro Division club Richmond Kickers at Toyota Park in Bridgeview after they easily beat New York Red Bulls 4-0 thanks largely to an Orr Barouch double.
The Kickers made it through courtesy of a 2-0 win at Sporting Kansas City.
