"By The Numbers" is a season-long series sponsored by The Kansas Department of Transportation, giving a statistical preview of every Sporting KC match.
Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a scintillating start to the 2019 season last week, trouncing Toluca 3-0 in the first leg of the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League Round of 16. But that result won't mean a thing to Manager Peter Vermes' men if they don't finish the job Thursday in Mexico, where they face los Diablos Rojos in the decisive second leg at Estadio Nemesio Diez. Kickoff is slated for 9 p.m. CT with live coverage on YahooSports.
