"Four points from a two-game in-conference road swing is what we've come to expect from the league's toughest road side. Sporting's home form has been relatively mediocre, though – and that'll need to change with the Fire coming to town."
FoxSoccer.com's Kyle McCarthy
"More than a few teams would have liked to shut up shop at Stade Saputo as effectively as Peter Vermes' side did in the 0-0 draw on Saturday."
ESPN.com's Jeff Carlisle
"A gritty 0-0 draw on the road against Montreal combined with a midweek win at New York allowed SKC to maintain its tenuous hold on first place in the Eastern Conference. The result sets up nicely this Friday's titanic matchup with second-place Chicago."
