Forward Latif Blessing scored twice on Saturday to help Sporting Kansas City earn a 2-2 draw at Orlando City SC and move into a tie for first place atop the Western Conference. With a two-game road swing in the books, Manager Peter Vermes' men (5-2-4, 19 points) now turn their attention to Wednesday's highly anticipated Retro Night match against defending MLS Cup champion Seattle Sounders FC (2-4-4, 10 points) at Children's Mercy Park. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Kansas City Plus, FOX Sports Midwest Plus, Sports Radio 810 WHB (English) and La Grande 1340 AM (Spanish), with The Final Whistle postgame show airing immediately after the match on 810 WHB.
Tickets for the Retro Night showdown are on sale at SeatGeek.com. A limited-time Throwback Four-Pack — consisting of four tickets, four hot dogs, four sodas and four bags of chips — is also available by calling 888-4KC-GOAL or by filling out this online form. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to Children's Mercy Park on Wednesday, as former striker Mo Johnston will be inducted into the Sporting Legends hall of honor during a pregame ceremony. A new retro training top will be available for purchase while supplies last at all SportingStyle locations inside the stadium, and the annual Sporting KC Media Game will take place at halftime.
In addition to giving away amenity kits to the first 7,000 fans inside Children’s Mercy Park on Retro Night, the Darol Rodrock Foundation will set up a donation bin at the Sporting Plaza as fans enter the stadium. Supporters can drop off unwrapped items such as toiletry and hygiene products and school supplies as well as cash donations and gift cards for children transitioning from group homes and foster families to independent living.
Following Wednesday's home fixture, Sporting Kansas City will travel north of the border to face Vancouver Whitecaps FC (4-5-1, 13 points) at 6 p.m. CT Saturday. Kickoff from BC Place in Vancouver is slated for 6 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Kansas City, FOX Sports Midwest, ESPN 99.3 FM (English) and La Grande 1340 AM (Spanish). The Final Whistle postgame show will air immediately afterward on 99.3 FM.
The Swope Park Rangers (4-3-0, 12 points) suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Rio Grande Valley FC on Saturday and will return to training this week at Swope Soccer Village. The Rangers are off this weekend before hosting unbeaten USL Western Conference leaders San Antonio FC (7-0-2, 23 points) on Friday, May 26 at 7:30 p.m. CT. Tickets for the match at Children's Mercy Victory Field inside Swope Soccer Village are available via SeatGeek.com or at the venue box office prior to kickoff.
The Sporting Kansas City Academy U-18s and U-16s continue their push to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy playoffs with a Sunday doubleheader against the Colorado Rapids at Swope Soccer Village. Both games are free and open to the public as the U-18s take the field at 10 a.m. CT before the U-16s kick off at 12:30 p.m. CT. Follow @SKCAcademy on Twitter for live updates.

The Samaritan and up to three guests will receive a behind the scenes VIP experience, four tickets to the game, a parking pass and a $50 gift card redeemable for Sporting KC merchandise. Supporters can nominate members of their community to be the next Blue KC Sporting Samaritan at SportingKC.com/bluekc.
