Sporting KC are stuck in the Western Conference basement, and leaky defending keeps erasing any progress they make up front.
A 3-3 draw with Portland on October 11 summed up SKC's season: they clawed back twice but still couldn't hold a result, extending a dreadful -33 goal difference. Dejan Joveljić leads the attack with 8 goals, but with only one clean sheet all year and an 18-loss record, there's little to suggest a late push up the table.
