Sporting Kansas City Hope to Ride the Rapids to Victory Saturday

By Sean McCaffery, October 23, 2020

Watch SKC as they try and speed to the top in the West with a win, helped by the tie last night in Cascadia from 7:30 p.m. CT on FOX Sports KC, FOX Sports MidwestFOX Sports GO , ESPN Plus, ESPN 94.5 FM & La Grande 1340 AM.

Now in the back stretch of 2020, both teams here have their eyes on the 2nd season with 30 points KC is assured as the Rapids with 19 are hopeful. Once again Mercy Park hopes to get to 18% capacity with all protocols in place

By one kick of the ball, Sporting would be in a far better spot, the top one but with a pair of contentious games a 1-0 loss to Dallas and the 2-2 draw with Chicago leaves them still looking up at the leaders who are tied, Seattle and Portland. This is also the 2nd to last home game of the regular season. The Dallas loss bought to a screeching halt the sides 16 games with a goal, 3rd longest run in team lore. HC Vermes has a hot hand on offense they are the sole team to have 5 players with a quartet of more goals on the season. Russell has half a dozen  Pulido & Kinda 5 per and ex-NYCFC player Shelton & Hurtado 5. Pulido away with his Mexican National team may return after a 4 game absence. 

Colorado had been on fire in Sept. with only 1 loss out of 7 matches, then Covid struck and games were postponed or cancelled. Frasers side last played in a 5-0 stomping of the 'Quakes on Sept. 23 and over the next 16 days have 5 games.
