Only four more wins needed to earn a trophy. While things are long from over for Sporting Kansas City in the 2022 MLS regular season, having a trophy within reach is a nice motivating factor. It’s possible the come from behind win against FC Dallas could be looked at as a catalyst that changed 2022 on the whole (let’s ignore that it came before the 7-2 Portland Timbers debacle).
However, it sort of feels like the timing is just awful. Kansas City are heading into their 6th game in seven days and are incredibly banged up.
