 Both clubs started mostly their first @-@ team players for the final . Costa Rican Leonardo González , a regular starter at left back for Sounders FC , was unavailable due to U.S. Open Cup roster limitations , which allow teams to have only five foreign players on their 18 @-@ man , game day roster . Defender Tyson Wahl started in his place . Crew backup goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum also started in place of normal starter Will Hesmer , though this was a normal change for U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League matches . Each club was organized in a 4 – 4 – 2 formation at kickoff .
