Storylines: Sporting Kansas City vs Portland Timbers (Western Conference Finals 2018)

Sunday night, the Portland Timbers came out and earned a draw. Although there were plenty of chances to put away the match, it just couldn’t be done. It was like they were lacking that final something to get them over the hill and put the match to bed. Sporting Kansas City came out with a slightly different plan and, for the most part, it didn’t work well. The Wiz are usually a very good team in possession, but on Sunday they sat back farther and allowed the Timbers to come to them. Because of that, the Timbers edged the possession-heavy SKC — 50.
