Sense of urgency runs high as Sporting prepares to visit Vancouver

After a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire last weekend, Sporting Kansas City has an opportunity to continue to fight for a playoff spot this weekend against Vancouver at 9 p.m. CT.

With just 15 games left in the season, Sporting sit five points below the playoff line and are striving to secure its ninth straight playoff spot. Sporting forward Johnny Russell addressed the challenge of staying in the postseason race on Wednesday.

“I wouldn’t say it’s desperation, (but) every guy in the locker room knows that we need to win if we have any aspirations of being in the playoffs,” Russell said.
