Ahead of Sunday's regular season finale against San Jose, SportingKC.com caught up with ESPN.com's Jeff Carlisle to preview the Western Conference clash at Children's Mercy Park. Live coverage starts at 3 p.m. CT on 38 The Spot, SKCTV, 99.3 FM, and La Grande 1340 AM.
These two sides met back in September with Sporting KC earning a 2-1 win at Avaya Stadium. What are your thoughts on that match and any impact it might have on Sunday?
I think it should give SKC a lot of confidence. It wasn’t a pretty match by any means, but Kansas City found a way to get a result against a team it hadn’t beaten on the road in well over a decade.
