The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the USL Championship this season. Sporting Kansas City II have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Children's Mercy Park.

In their previous game, the manager P. Corradi Nagamura led his Kansas to a defeat in the USL Championship match away at Louisville City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Children's Mercy Park. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The defeat against Louisville City was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by C. Lancaster).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Memphis 901 (1-3).
