After back-to-back League draws, Crew SC will hit the road to take on Sporting Kansas City in a nationally televised clash on Sunday. Leading up to the inter-Conference contest on Sunday night, here are three things to know about Sporting KC.
Dominant Dwyer
Sporting KC’s leading scorer Dominic Dwyer has eight goals on the season, scoring twice in Sporting’s most recent match at Montreal, marking the second time in League play this year that he has scored two goals in a match and the seventh time in his MLS career. Dwyer is also one of the League leader’s in shots with 60 on the season, ranking fourth.
Unbeaten Streak
SKC has been on a good run, going unbeaten in its last three matches. The team's last loss was over a month ago on May 27 when it was defeated 1-0 at home by D.C. United.
History vs. Crew SC
In Sporting KC and Crew SC’s last meeting, on August 22, 2015 at MAPFRE Stadium, the Black & Gold snapped a five-game losing streak against Sporting with a 3-2 win. However, the last time Crew SC won on the road against SKC was nearly four years ago in its 2-1 victory on July 28, 2012. The Black & Gold will be gunning for their second straight victory over Sporting on Sunday.
