Faced with a 5-0 deficit against Mexican club CF Monterrey, Sporting Kansas City has a mountain to climb in the decisive second leg of the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League Semifinals on Thursday at Children’s Mercy Park.
Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m. CT and tickets for the pivotal matchup—included in Season Ticket Member packages—remain available at SeatGeek.com.
