Competition brings the best out of Sporting KC's Diego Rubio

Confidence can spur anybody to do great things and on Saturday night it did just that for Diego Rubio. The 25-year-old Chilean scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season for Sporting Kansas City, leading his team to a 3-0 win over the Portland Timbers at Children's Mercy Park.

“I always feel [confident] about what I can do in the game. I think, of course, it’s something physical, you can run the game, you can press, you can do all the things that are required to play as a striker on this team.
