Familiar foes Sporting KC & Columbus make for “good game”
Sporting Kansas City hosts a familiar foe in fellow MLS original club Columbus Crew SC on Retro Night at Children’s Mercy Park come Sunday.
Columbus’ striker production the last five years:
2014: Ethan Finley – 11 goals, 7 assists
2015: Kei Kamara – 22, 8
2017: Ola Kamara – 18, 3
2018: Gyasi Zardes – 8 goals in 13 games
“It’s the system of play” say pundits when explaining how Head Coach Gregg Berhalter’s Crew always gets high production out of their strikers. The players around Finley, Kamara, Kamara – all departed – and, now, Zardes make good plays and the striker gets into good positions and finishes.
