(8) Portland Timbers (2,3,1, 7 points) vs (6) Sporting Kansas City (2,1,3, 9 points) Sunday April 7, 2024 KO 10:30 AM PST/ 1:30 PM EST Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Kansas   Portland Timbers Briefly The rally against Vancouver fell short due to manager Vanni Sartini’s accurate moves contrary to manager Phil Neville trying to escalate the attack and, in the end, it was stopped abruptly by the Whitecaps as the Timbers fell short of their objective in the end. My conclusion is that Zac McGraw is in need to be substituted by Dario Zuparic as the all-around starter as the Croatian is pl ..read more

Fit to be tied, though it wasn’t for a lack of effort by both LAFC and Sporting Kansas City. Both teams were aggressive on offense at BMO Stadium on Saturday night, but near misses combined clutch keeping from keepers Hugo Lloris of LAFC and Tim Melia of Kansas City prevented neither side from collecting the full three points, and the end result was a scoreless draw. “I think the effort was fine,” LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo said. “LAFC’s teams always put everything on the field and try to win games. We try to be the aggressors, try to play forward and score goals.” LAFC’s best chance in ..read more

The Houston team tried to extend what they did last season and continue with their dominance at the Shell where they got most of their points that gave them a spot at the MLS Playoffs. On the other hand, Sporting KC came to Houston with the idea of starting the season with three points against one of its main rivals. The control of the match was pretty even. Houston was the team that tried to attack, but their opportunities were not as clear as they would want to. Dynamo’s struggles were not a surprise. Team captain Hector Herrera as well as French international Amine Bassi and forward Sebast ..read more

Not much has been going right for LAFC these past few weeks. The hangover of losing the CONCACAF Champions League carried into MLS play that past week. First was a scoreless draw with Atlanta United in which LAFC squandered a chance to win from the penalty spot, then it was swept in a home-and-home series with the Houston Dynamo On Saturday night, playing on the road against Sporting Kansas City looked like it would be more of the same, as Sporting took the lead on an Alan Pulido’s penalty early in the first half. However, LAFC was finally able to summon a resolve that had been missing these l ..read more

Franck Boli put his new team ahead with his third goal of the season and putting the Timbers ahead in the game. However, it’s when Sporting Kansas City (3-8-4, 13 points) coming from a humiliating rout against their Midwest foes St. Louis City SC, delivered a rout over a clueless Timbers defensive backfield looking at times lost in the course of the game. For a while, it looked like Portland was to add to its ..read more

Things started out well for LAFC on Wednesday night. Playing at home for the first time in 16 days, LAFC relied on a familiar source to get them going against Sporting Kansas City, as Denis Bouanga continued his torrid scoring run with his 10th league goal early in the first half, and it looked like it was going to be another easy night for LAFC against a Kansas City side that is one spot out of last place in the Western Conference. However, Kansas City ended up making it an unhappy homecoming for the home side. First Johnny Russell equalized for Sporting moments after Bouanga’s strike, then r ..read more

Seattle, WA – After a hot start to the 2023 regular season, the Seattle Sounders seem to be cooling off a bit as the temperatures in the Pacific Northwest rise. With Sporting KC in town, the Sounders played down to the level of their opponent as they gave up two goals in the first half and couldn’t put together a comeback effort. KC came out of the opening whistle looking to strike, and were able to capitalize on two mistakes to give themselves a two-goal lead before the halftime mark. A penalty late into the match brought things down to the wire, but Seattle was unable to punch in the equaliz ..read more
