Recap: Sporting KC crashes out of CONCACAF Champions League with 2-1 loss at Vancouver Whitecaps FC

Sporting Kansas City crashed out of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League with a 2-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Tuesday at Children's Mercy Park.

Diego Rubio scored for the hosts shortly after halftime, but a 41st-minute goal from Erik Hurtado and a 93rd-minute strike from 15-year-old Alphonso Davies clinched first place in Group C for Vancouver and eliminated Sporting Kansas City from North America’s premier club tournament.

Tuesday’s match was delayed for two hours in the 35th minute as inclement weather passed over the Kansas City area.

Manager Peter Vermes made wholesale lineup changes from Friday's 3-3 draw with the Houston Dynamo.
