Reflecting on the rivalry: Five memorable wins over Real Salt Lake
It’s a rivalry unlike most others.
It’s not based on close geography, long-standing history or subversive actions between the clubs.
Rather, over the last half-decade, it’s a rivalry that has stemmed from frequency, from players who have served a major role in the story, and from moments of epic grandeur.
Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake will write the next chapter of their unique rivalry in the Western Conference Semifinals of the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs. Manager Peter Vermes side’ hits the road for leg one at 9 p.m. CT Sunday (FS1, FOX Deportes, ESPN 94.5 FM, ESPN Deportes KC 1480 AM) before hosting the decisive second leg next Sunday, Nov. 11, at Children’s Mercy Park (tickets).
