After big win, Peter Vermes describes mental challenges Sporting has overcome

Sporting Kansas City started off 2020 as maybe the hottest team in MLS.

They beat Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the Houston Dynamo by a combined score of 7-1. Behind impressive displays from newcomers Alan Pulido and Gadi Kinda, they came into the MLS is Back Tournament as one of the teams to beat.

But it didn't start off so well after a 1-0 lead was blown against Minnesota United FC following a Tim Melia red card. Friday night's match against the Colorado Rapids started off with the Rapids on the front foot.
