KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sporting Kansas City advanced to the U.S. Open Cup Final with a 2-0 win over Indy Eleven late Tuesday night.

The match's start time was delayed due to weather.

This trip to the final is the first for the club since 2017.

Sporting Manager Peter Vermes said this game was "everything."

"There's a lot of guys in that locker room that haven't won a trophy in a professional team," Vermes said. "And so, I mean, this is an opportunity, and you don't get a lot of them, and so you better play with everything you have to make sure you get to the final and give yourself a chance to win a trophy."

Sporting will travel to take on the winner of the other semifinal between Los Angeles FC and Seattle Sounders FC.
