The last time these two teams met was a snowy day in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was Decision Day 2020 and Sporting Kansas City came away with a big 2-0 win to cement their first place finish in the Western Conference. That secured an ultimately squandered home field advantage for the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs.
But winning in Utah hasn’t always been as easy as KC made it look that day. RSL were already out of the playoffs and finished 2020 in the next to last position in the West, only better than the Houston Dynamo.
