We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-1 Los Angeles FC

Sporting are catching LAFC at a good time as the reigning MLS Cup champs are still getting over their CCL defeat and have not got much time to rest ahead of this match. While Cherundolo has plenty of dependable attacking players, the best one, Bouanga, is unlikely to see the field, and the international window should enable the home team to face a weaker squad.
