Sono i tiri dagli undici metri a decidere la finalissima dell'edizione 2012 dell'U.S. Open Cup andata in scena al LiveStrong di Kansas City e che ha visto imporsi la squadra di casa dello Sporting di Peter Vermes sui Seattle Sounders che nelle ultime tre edizioni erano riusciti ad iscrivere il proprio nome nell'albo d'oro della più antica competizione calcistica sul suolo statunitense.Con questo successo lo Sporting si assicura il "ticket" per un posto in quota agli USA nella prossima Concacaf Champions League 2013/14. Per il team del Missouri è il secondo successo nella competizione dopo quello del 2002 quando gli allora "Wizards" si erano imposti con un golden gol del russo Igor Simutenkov (ex Reggiana e Bologna) sui Chicago Fire.
