Another streak has been snapped.
Sporting Kansas City's 4-2 loss at Real Salt Lake on Wednesday's marked the first time Manager Peter Vermes' men have lost to a Western Conference opponent this year. Entering the game, Sporting KC boasted a 6-0-4 regular-season record against conference foes in 2018.
So where does this 10-game unbeaten run versus conference opponents rank in club annals?
First, a brief history lesson: Sporting KC competed in the West from 1996-2004 before spending the next decade in the East from 2005-2014. The club has been a member of the West since 2015.
