And then there were four.
Sporting Kansas City, the Portland Timbers, the New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United FC are the last four teams still kicking in the hunt for MLS Cup 2018.
The Western Conference Championship will see Sporting KC and Portland lock horns in a rematch of the 2015 Knockout Round, a wild 2-2 draw that ended with the Timbers prevailing in an even wilder penalty shootout. This time around, Manager Peter Vermes’ side will aim for revenge and an MLS Cup date at either New York or Atlanta.
The first leg of the aggregate-goal conference championship series will take place at Providence Park on Sunday, Nov.
