Two underwhelming sides in the MLS Western Conference will square off at Children's Mercy Park on Wednesday as Sporting Kansas City host FC Dallas in the U.S. Open Cup quarter-finals.
The cup game comes less than 72 hours from a 3-2 Sporting KC win over FC Dallas in the MLS on Sunday. It was a disappointing defeat from Dallas' perspective having scored two unanswered goals to bring themselves level at 2-2 midway through the second half.
It wasn't enough to earn a point, however, as SKC's Memo Rodriguez fired home the winner in the 82nd minute to condemn Dallas to an eighth road defeat of the season. Now, just three days later, the visitors will look for revenge.
