Despite this being the first match between the two teams, a lot of players on both teams know each other well.
The Swope Park Rangers will face Oklahoma City this evening and for two team that have never faced each other, there will be little bit of rivalry with a lot of familiar foes. Several of the Rangers; Christian Duke, Jacob VanCompernolle and Jon Kempin all played for the Energy recently.
"We know there is a certain rivalry that doesn't exist but because they are in Oklahoma and we are in Kansas City it does," Swope Rangers coach Marc Dos Santos confessed.
