While most MLS sides have the first weekend in March circled on their calendars, Sporting KC have a date circled almost two weeks earlier.
February 2 will kick off Sporting’s 2019 campaign, as they jump into Concacaf Champions League play against Liga MX outfit Toluca. They will play their entire Round of 16 series before they even kick off in MLS, on March 3 vs. LAFC.
With a couple preseason run-outs under their belt already Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes believes what he saw has his side on the right track.
“I like the fact that all three teams resembled how we want to play,” Vermes said in a conference call after a 4-0 win over Sporting AZ.
