SPORTING KC VISITS PORTLAND TIMBERS ON SUNDAY
Sporting Kansas City (10-10-4, 34 points) and the Portland Timbers (7-8-8, 29 point) round out out a pivotal two-game set this Sunday at Providence Park. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. CT on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, 99.3 FM and 1340 AM as the clubs brace for their second straight meeting.
Currently fourth in the Western Conference standings, Sporting KC will revisit the site of the epic 2015 Western Conference Knockout Round match, which saw Portland win an 11-round penalty kick shootout after a gripping 2-2 draw. The Timbers sit seventh in the West and will look to close the gap between themselves and Manager Peter Vermes' men.
