"Sometimes you look at the final result, and you can feel the team had a lack of the mentality, but I think against Houston [Dynamo] we had the mentality from the beginning to the end. It's just we didn't do a couple of things good, and the opponent punished us,"
"We cannot give one half to the opponent, we have to play 90 minutes at the best level that we can."
"We are building this mentality, we want to be there, we want to be a team that everyone can talk about."
"We are getting close to playoff time, so I think the game will be a little more cagey and more tactical in nature. Recent weeks, they have done a very good job in not just being pragmatic, but being efficient,"
Austin FC sit seventh in the Western Conference and seek to secure a playoff berth after losing only two of their last 11 games across competitions. The club has never won a major trophy in its seven-year history but remains in contention for two pieces of silverware and has reached the US Open Cup semifinals. Austin have scored in each of their last six MLS matches and look to continue that run at Children's Mercy Park. Head coach Nico Estevez emphasized the need to play 90 minutes and build a mentality worthy of wider recognition. Sporting Kansas City have struggled this season, sit near the bottom of the West, have won three of their last ten, and aim to finish strongly after a recent 4-2 win over Colorado.
