Sporting Park is no stranger to penalty kicks as Sporting Kansas City used them to win the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup in front of the home crowd. So it came as no surprise to anyone that both NCAA Men’s College Cup semifinal matches at Sporting Park Friday night were decided by one of the most dramatic ways to win a match: penalty kicks.
Clemson and Stanford each won their respective shootouts to set up an exciting championship match Sunday afternoon. The match will kick off at 1 p.m. CT with coverage on ESPNU.
