Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas will battle for three points on the final day of the MLS regular season on Sunday (October 9).
The visitors are coming off a 1-0 defeat at ten-man Colorado Rapids. Diego Rubio scored a 66th-minute winner ten minutes before Gustavo Vallecilla received his marching orders.
