Sporting Kansas City will host the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first round of the MLS playoffs after dropping all points in its final three matches, missing out on chances to finish atop the conference.

Rife with consequences. That is how MLS Decision Day is scheduled to be. And for hosts Sporting Kansas City and their guests Real Salt Lake, the result of Sunday’s late afternoon match at Children’s Mercy Park (and related others being played concurrently) was filled with a bevy of consequences.
