PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Amado Guevara scored in the third minute of the second overtime Wednesday night to give the MetroStars a 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup.

The MetroStars broke through off a corner kick by Mike Magee. Eddie Pope collected the kick and fired a shot at New England goalkeeper Adin Brown, who made the stop on Pope's shot and a rebound attempt by defender Steve Jolley. But Guevara stormed into the box to knock in the rebound.

Clint Mathis scored for the MetroStars, his first goal since July 2 when he scored twice in a tie with San Jose. The MetroStars are 22-0-4 in games when Mathis scores a goal.

The MetroStars will face D.C. United, which defeated the Wilmington (N.C.) Hammerheads 1-0 Wednesday, in the tournament semifinals Tuesday Sept. 23, also at Rutgers University.

That game will begin a string where the MetroStars and D.C. United play three times in a span of five days, with regularly scheduled MLS games slated for Sept. 25 at Giants Stadium and Sept. 28 in Washington.

After Mathis gave the MetroStars a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute with a left-footed shot from 20 yards out that slid past Brown, New England countered in the final minute of the first half on a goal by Jay Heaps off a scramble in front of the net.

Four MetroStars defenders failed to clear the ball out of their zone, and Heaps pounced on the loose ball and pounded home a shot from 16 yards out.
