After a hard fought draw on Sunday in the Rose City and a simultaneous blizzard in KC, Sporting Kansas City will return home to the brutal cold with one game separating them from their fourth MLS Cup Final appearance. Standing in their way are the Portland Timbers, the scrappy fifth seed who just won’t go away in these playoffs. PTFC went on the road to beat FC Dallas in the first round. Then they played a two-leg thriller with the Seattle Sounders before settling for a home draw in the first leg with Sporting.
