Sporting Kansas City returned home after a triumphant win over the Western Conference leading Seattle Sounders. The home team welcomed FC Dallas to town for the first meeting between the clubs in 2021. Sporting would have a chance to take the Western Conference lead with Seattle faltering again early in the night, but it wasn’t meant to be.
The lineup was the same as the one that beat the Sounders in terms of starters, but Cameron Duke’s questionable status turned into an ‘out’ and he was unavailable from the bench.
Dallas’ lineup featured lots of youth, including their Homegrown striker Ricardo Pepi who is coming off a hat trick against the LA Galaxy.
