Game Central
Game presented by Toro
The Loons are back in more ways than one this weekend as they return to Allianz Field from a successful road trip in North Carolina. The Boys in Black and Blue made some personnel and tactical adjustments that Charlotte FC simply couldn't handle, earning an emphatic win. Now, with three goals, three points, and a clean sheet freshly secured, the Loons look ahead to a showdown against an old nemesis, their "friendliest" foe, Sporting Kansas City. SKC's season has been marked by close matches, but things haven't ended in their favor as much as they would hope, earning just two wins. However, it has also been a season filled with scoring for Sporting, with the team from the Heart of America scoring three goals in four of their last five games. With such tight scorelines and goals aplenty, it feels as though SKC is on the edge of a breakthrough. On the other hand, the Loons proved their ability to lock down on defense by keeping the Crown out of the net on the road. With both sides hitting positive strides, the Nicest Rivalry in Sports is primed to provide another game you won't want to miss.
