Just give us a goal tonight.
For anyone interested we are experimenting with a live chat in the body of the article – let us know your feedback!
I’d be down to clown
Reid and Harris look pretty good out on the left.
What was that one on the goal
Hell of a team goal for skc. That was fun to watch. Great early cross from Harris. Great lay off from Jake.
Deki!!! Clinical
If you’re SKC, you have to be encouraged by this performance. Two goals given up by preventable mistakes, and mostly solid defensively. You can see the coaching in this squad. This is a game last year that might have been 3-0 or 3-1.
Agreed. This was a big improvement over last week. A couple silly mistakes but Columbus is a very good team and they weren’t just tearing us apart.
i was shocked at the xG #s. Sporting could have gotten all 3 and it would have been a deserved result
