At 5 p.m. CT on Sunday, Sports Radio 810 WHB will air one of the most fondly remembered matches in Sporting Kansas City history: the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final at Children's Mercy Park.
On Sept. 20, 2017, Manager Peter Vermes' men defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-1 in a nail-biting final to claim the championship. A 25th-minute header from Latif Blessing and a 66th-minute strike from Daniel Salloi were just enough to secure victory as Sporting continued their mastery of North America’s oldest soccer tournament, lifting the Open Cup title for the fourth time overall and the third time since 2012.
