After a thumping 4-1 victory against Western Conference leaders St. Louis, Sporting Kansas City face their American rivals once again in the second-leg of the playoffs tie.
Sporting Kansas City created havoc in the first leg of the encounter as four different scorers bashed four goals past St. Louis' goal to give them a massive advantage. A win in the second-leg will settle the tie and help them march ahead in the playoffs.
The shambolic 4-1 defeat against their opponents might end St. Louis' hopes of making it through to the next round as they'll be vying to produce an upset on the road. Tim Parker was the sole scorer for Sunday's visitors in the first leg and the American side will look to score more if they want to turn the tide in their balance.
