Playoff history: How Sporting has KC fared in past conference championships

One step closer.

Sporting Kansas City has reached the Western Conference Championship of the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs, where they will face the Portland Timbers in a two-game, aggregate-goal series to decide which club advance to MLS Cup 2018.

Manager Peter Vermes’ side will hit the road for the first leg next Sunday, Nov. 25, before hosting the second leg on Thursday, Nov. 29. Tickets for the decisive showdown at Children’s Mercy Park, slated for 8:30 p.m. CT, are now available at SeatGeek.com.

With more than a week remaining until the conference finals unfold, we have plenty of time to take a deep breath before the proverbial plunge.
