San Juan Blue
The last time these two Champions League sides met, San Juan SC defeated Santa Clara Sporting via a one-goal margin in a close game. This time, the game was again close, but there were no goals as a back-and-forth match was forced to be decided on the dreaded penalties. Here, San Juan advanced to the final, besting Sporting from 12 yards out.

California Odyssey
Defending State Cup champions California Odyssey faced giant-killers Ballistic United for the chance to play in the final, but this time the game went chalk as the Champions League side bested the NPL 2 squad with a 4-1 victory. Enrique Gutierrez Jr. was the star on the night for the Odyssey, scoring a brace, to add to goals from Sean Williamson and Christian Silva. Ballistic put up a strong fight, but could only manage a solitary strike from Tyler Reavis and were thus eliminated.
