All is well that ends well, right?
For all the hiccups Sporting Kansas City endured in 2016 — the extended winless streak, the series of home-venue flops, the high-profile benching — the club will conclude October in its familiar spot.
The postseason.
Sporting KC sealed its sixth consecutive playoff berth Sunday with a 2-0 victory against visiting San Jose at Children's Mercy Park.
For the third consecutive fall, Sporting KC will play in the knockout round, where it will meet Seattle at CenturyLink Field on the West Coast. The date and time of the match will be announced later Sunday.
