Down 5-0 in their Concacaf Champions League semifinal series with 90 minutes to go, Sporting Kansas City aren't throwing in the towel ahead of Thursday's second leg against Monterrey.
“There’s always a chance,” said winger Johnny Russell after Sporting's 1-1 draw at FC Cincinnati on Sunday. “We didn’t do ourselves any justice in the away tie. We know how difficult it’s going to be. The odds are stacked against us for the home tie, but you never know. I’ve seen what this team’s capable of, and we’re capable of coming from behind."
Peter Vermes echoed the Scottish winger’s sentiments after his team’s draw.
