Sporting Kansas City return home for a Major League Soccer game for the first time since being unceremoniously bounced from the MLS Cup Playoffs by the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Finals. The Union also made those playoffs but were sent home in the knockout round by New York City FC.
Both teams will be coming into the week looking for their first points of the 2019 season. Sporting KC went on the road to Los Angeles Football Club and dropped the away point in the final seconds of the game on an Adama Diomande 94th minute goal.
