Sporting Kansas City captain Matt Besler made his customary appearance on The Border Patrol this morning, joining Sports Radio 810 WHB hosts Nate Bukaty and Steven St. John to reflect on his team's second straight shutout victory and look ahead to a gargantuan showdown with FC Dallas on Saturday night at Children's Mercy Park.
A 3-0 win over Vancouver last weekend has instilled further confidence in a side that has climbed within four points of FC Dallas, who currently hold the seventh and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Besler acknowledged that consistency along the back line has helped Manager Peter Vermes' men find a rhythm and string together consecutive clean sheets for the first time this season.
