On the other side of this matchup is Sporting KC who have also looked good so far during the tournament. Sporting KC lost their first game of the tournament but won their last two games of the group stage. In the last game of the group stage against Real Salt Lake,  Johnny Russell and Gerso Fernandes put goals in the back of the net and their defense locked down. 

In their first game during the knockout stage, Sporting KC was impressive but they couldn’t put any goals in the back of the net. Sporting KC had 29 shots against the Vancouver Whitecaps with seven shots on target. None of those goals went into the back of the net though, so they had to get the job done during penalty kicks. 

If you enjoy low scoring games make sure to tune into this one because that’s what will happen in this game. In this game, the under is a strong play and if you are looking for another small play a final score of 0-0 has a lot of value.
