. . . must come to an end. Sad music rings in the end of Sporting KC's season. We couldn't bring ourselves to provide a match recap so here it is: Johnny Russell converted a PK in the first half but a 91st-minute goal from substitute Bobby Wood sent Sporting KC to a 2-1 defeat after fellow substitute Anderson Julio had equalized in the 72nd minute. That hurt to write. But it's not all doom and gloom as Season 1 of the Podcast comes to a close. We also took time off from talking (ok, ranting) about the game to look ahead with excitement to next season and reflect on the exciting ride that covering this team has been.
