There is a bad taste in the collective mouths of everyone associated with Sporting Kansas City when it comes to the Houston Dynamo. The coaches, the players and the fans. Hell, even the media. Over the course of just over two weeks in October 2017, Sporting KC played the Dynamo three times.
The first meeting was a make-up game from an early postponement in Houston due to Hurricane Harvey. Sporting lost 2-1. Four days late, with the chance to host a MLS Cup Playoff game in the balance, SKC played their final home game of the season — again against Houston.
