Most of the biggest rivalries in MLS are based on geography. But one that is not defined by location is set to resume in the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Top seed Sporting Kansas City will take on lowest seed Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinals, beginning with Leg 1 on Sunday at Rio Tinto Stadium (10 pm ET | FS1, FOX Deportes, TVAS, TSN5).
RSL head coach Mike Petke, only around the rivalry the last two seasons, spoke of the potential for more fireworks following his team's "statement win" over Sporting on July 4.
