Sporting Kansas City welcome the NY Red Bulls to Sporting Park Children’s Mercy Park for the 2017 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Final on Wednesday. Sporting will be looking for their fourth Open Cup title (and third in six years) while the Red Bulls will be shooting for their first. SKC won the whole thing in 2004, 2012 and 2015. They are a perfect 3-0 in US Open Finals. New York haven’t been to a final since 2003, where they lost.
Recent history bodes well for Sporting at home too. They are 6-0-1 at home in the US Open Cup since 2015, with the draw being their last outing against the San Jose Earthquakes which was eventually won in dramatic fashion.
