Over the next several Sundays, Sporting Kansas City radio partner Sports Radio 810 WHB will broadcast a classic Sporting match for listeners in the region.
Sunday's re-air at 5 p.m. CT will treat fans to the dramatic 2018 Decision Day regular season finale as Manager Peter Vermes' men edged LAFC 2-1 at Children's Mercy Park to clinch first place in the Western Conference.
In a showdown that was televised nationally on FS1, Roger Espinoza fired Sporting ahead with a stunning goal in the 37th minute. However, the hosts were reduced to 10 men on the hour mark when Seth Sinovic received a red card for a hand ball infraction inside the box. Mexican star Carlos Vela buried the ensuing penalty kick to draw LAFC level, only for Daniel Salloi to strike back in the 79th minute to seal a thrilling victory as the 2018 MLS regular season came to a dramatic end.
The memorable battle at sun-drenched Children’s Mercy Park pitted the top two teams in the Western Conference fighting for the division’s top seed, serving as the marquee matchup on Decision Day as 11 MLS contests unfolded simultaneously.
