Manager Peter Vermes' men will now prepare for a pivotal showdown with first-place Vancouver Whitecaps FC, set for 8 p.m. CT Saturday at Children's Mercy Park. Tickets for the high-profile encounter are on sale at SeatGeek.com as Sporting KC looks to extend a club-record 24-game home unbeaten run in the MLS regular season, the third-longest streak in league history.
