On Saturday night, Sporting Kansas City travelled to Texas to face the Houston Dynamo. It seemed promising as Houston went down a man in the first half, but KC couldn’t manage to find the back of the net and the game finished as a 0-0 draw.
That draw, the second straight suffered by Sporting KC, leaves them with a maximum point total of just 43. A sum that hasn’t allowed a team into the playoffs in the last decade except once in 2016 in the Eastern Conference, in a down year, when 60 percent of the teams make it (50 percent back it now).
