Updated Playoff Picture: How Sporting KC can clinch a top-two seed on Decision Day

What. A. Week.

Four days after beating Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4-1 in British Columbia, Sporting Kansas City cruised to another big road win on Sunday, sinking FC Dallas 3-0 behind goals from Daniel Salloi, Roger Espinoza and Johnny Russell.

The victory — Sporting KC’s first at Toyota Stadium since 2011 — ensures that Manager Peter Vermes’ side can finish no worse than fourth place in the West heading into next Sunday’s all-important Decision Day clash with LAFC at Children’s Mercy Park. As a result, Sporting KC is guaranteed to host at least one game in the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs, marking the first time the club has hosted a postseason match since winning MLS Cup on Dec.
