Detroit City advanced as the second seed out of Group A, finishing the three matches with six points and a plus-one goal differential. The Oakland Roots took the top spot out of the group – also finishing with six points but sporting a goal differential of plus three.
The Force secured its place in the knockout round with a 2-1 victory over the New York Cosmos on Monday night. After falling to Chattanooga FC in the opening tilt, 2-0, LA rebounded with a 3-2 victory against Cal United.
CFC took the second semifinal spot out of Group B and will take on the Roots at 5 pm on Wednesday.
