Sporting Kansas City are set to host Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park in a highly anticipated matchup on Saturday evening. Sporting will look to bounce back from a frustrating 2-1 loss against D.C. United, while Minnesota comes into the game on a hot streak with consecutive 1-0 victories.
Minnesota has historically struggled at Children’s Mercy Park, but they secured a rare road win against Sporting last fall. The two teams met three times during the 2024 season, with Minnesota coming out on top in all three matches.
Heading into the game, Sporting forward Khiry Shelton has been a standout performer against Minnesota, scoring four goals in previous meetings. On the other side, Minnesota’s Kelvin Yeboah has been instrumental in his team’s recent success, scoring the winning goals in their last two matches.
With both teams hungry for a win, the matchup promises to be an exciting one on national television. Minnesota has started the 2025 season on a strong note, boasting a 2-1-0 record and an impressive defensive record, conceding only one goal in three matches.
As the teams prepare to face off, fans can expect an intense battle between two regional rivals vying for crucial points in the early stages of the MLS season. Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. CT, and tickets are available for purchase online.
