We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-2 Vancouver Whitecaps

The Caps seem to have found their groove as their top attacking players, namely Gauld, have stepped up in a big way, while KC have not been quite as consistent in recent outings. Overall, Vancouver have a deeper team than Kansas City, plus they have momentum on their side right now, and when you put those two things together it is usually a solid recipe for success.
