After earning a 0-0 road result against the Portland Timbers on Sunday night, Sporting Kansas City will host the decisive second leg of the Western Conference Championship on Thursday at Children's Mercy Park. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. CT with national television coverage on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.


A limited number of tickets for Thursday's monumental matchup, Sporting KC's final home game of 2018, remain available at SeatGeek.com. A win over Portland would send Manager Peter Vermes' side to MLS Cup 2018, set for Saturday, Dec. 8, at the home venue of the Eastern Conference Championship winner between Atlanta United FC and the New York Red Bulls.


SportingStyle has reopened matchday pre-orders for pickup at Thursday's game between Sporting KC and Portland. Fans can shop a limited assortment of items between now and Thursday, including the Claim the Cup scarf and the Sporting KC Columbia collection. The SportingStyle Pop-In Store is also open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Budweiser Brew House at Children's Mercy Park. Follow @SportingStyle on Twitter and Instagram for sneak peeks of all the latest club apparel.


All day Friday, Scooter's Coffee will celebrate the grand opening of its new cafe in Kansas City (5166 N. Oak Trafficway) with a Day of Giving, donating 100 percent of the location's proceeds to The Victory Project. The donation day is part of a season-long collaboration in which Scooter’s Coffee raises money and awareness for The Victory Project, an initiative that unites Sporting KC players, staff and fans to help children fighting cancer and other serious challenges. In conjunction with the Day of Giving, Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth will be at the new Scooter's Coffee location from 3-4:30 p.m. CT Friday to sign autographs and take photos with fans.


The Sporting KC Academy U-17s and U-19s are set to compete at the 2018 U.S. Soccer Development Academy Winter Showcase, running Thursday through Monday at Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. The 2017 Winter Showcase features elite U-17 and U-19 academy clubs from across the country, spanning more than 200 matches over five days.
