KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Sporting KC has a chance to continue their playoff run Wednesday night -- as long as their offense can deliver.
The team must win defeat the Houston Dynamo by at least three goals to advance into the Eastern Conference finals.
The Dynamo currently leads the two-game series 2-0.
Houston is a team that's crushed Sporting KC's post-season dreams before. On November 6, 2011, the Dynamo delivered a 2-0 blow to knock Sporting out of the MLS championship game.
The U.S. Open Cup champions will need to dig deep to pull off a win at Livestrong Sporting Park.
The game starts Wednesday at 8 pm on KSMO-TV.
