1: The match was not pretty but was far better than the last four MLS Playoffs matches for Sporting Kansas City. Coming away from Real Salt Lake with a 1-1 draw is important. And a good start.
“The tie is one thing but to be able to get the away goal is huge. It’s huge, and to respond the way that we did because it definitely wasn’t an easy game for us to play but we stayed pretty disciplined throughout the match,” SKC Manager Peter Vermes told The Blue Testament after the match.
