Portland Hearts of Pine takes on CD Faialense at Lewiston High in first -round game in U.S. Open Cup tournament.

The game is at a high school field, not the Hearts ’ future home, which is being rapidly renovated.

“We’ve been training once a week and we’re going against players who are getting paid and probably training six times a week. “You can’t compare the teams but we for sure know we have a shot. We’re not going into this game thinking, Man , let’s just give it our best.’ We want to win.” Comments are not available on this story.
