Sporting Kansas City and Sacramento Republic battled through regulation and extra time and eventually made it to penalty kicks with the score still tied at 0-0.
“We had a lot of chances in the game, especially early on in the first half,” SKC manager Peter Vermes told media post game. “We had a ton of chances. We just didn’t put them away. It’s unfortunate because we played well. We moved the ball well. We created some very, very good chances. We turned them over in their half of the field which we thought we could do.
