Real Salt Lake will host a semifinal game in the U.S. Open Cup tournament next month if it advances that far.

The team has learned it will play either the Los Angeles Galaxy or the Seattle Sounders at Rio Tinto Stadium on Aug. 30, provided it beats FC Dallas on the road — something it has never done — in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night. That game comes just three days after FC Dallas plays at RSL in a Major League Soccer game on Saturday.

The Galaxy and Sounders play the other semifinal in Seattle on Wednesday night.
