Detroit then got the better of the Rowdies in a 3-2 result at Al Lang Stadium on August 21. In three total trips to the Motor City, the Rowdies have posted one win, one draw, and one defeat.
Should the Rowdies defeat Detroit, they would advance to play the winner of the Conference Quarterfinal matchup between the Charleston Battery and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.
