From one strong Eastern Conference opponent to another.
Sporting Kansas City has turned the page to Week 2, preparing for a challenging road test at the Chicago Fire on Saturday after falling 2-0 in last weekend’s season opener to New York City FC at Children’s Mercy Park.
Captain Matt Besler joined The Border Patrol hosts Nate Bukaty and Steven St. John on Sports Radio 810 WHB this morning, rehashing Sunday’s curtain raiser before looking ahead to a matchup with Chicago, which finished third in the East last season behind Toronto FC and NYCFC.
The Fire wielded the third-best scoring offense in 2017, thanks in large part to the contribution of MLS Golden Boot Winner Nemanja Nikolic.
