Seattle Sounders vs Sporting Kansas City, MLS Cup Playoffs: Game time, TV schedule and live stream for knockout round

FOX Sports 1 and UniMas are both covering the match starting at 7 PM. Kickoff will be closer to 7:25 PM. Arrive early. Stay loud. There could be Extra Time and kicks from the spot.

It’s been a long time since Brian Schmetzer beat a KC MLS team. It was 2008, in the US Open Cup, when the Seattle Sounders advanced on penalties (6-5 in 7 rounds) due to Zach Scott. A lot has changed since that “win.” Schmetzer is now the head coach of a MLS side. The Wizards are now Sporting Kansas City. Both teams are in the playoffs, with one being in top form and the other just barely getting to the second season.

Thursday’s game could go to Extra Time. If the score is tied, there is no tie-breaker. Two 15-minute periods will be added onto the 90. If it remains tied, there could be kicks from the spot to determine who advances to face FC Dallas on Sunday.

Ismail Elfath is the center referee. Clint Dempsey is still out due to a heart issue. Dylan Remick will miss today’s match with a concussion. Andreas Ivanschitz is out with a knee sprain. Oalex Anderson is the only player listed as questionable. Yellow card accumulation from the regular season does not apply. Diego Rubio is the only player listed as out by Sporting KC. They do list Brad Davis (calf), Justin Mapp (calf) and Chance Myers (thigh) as questionable.
