2023 MLS Cup: Thoughts on the playoffs
The 2023 MLS Playoffs have begun with the tale of two fixtures. The New York Red Bulls, who snagged the last Wild Card spot thanks to a 94th minute penalty kick on the last day of the season, dominated Charlotte FC at home 5-2. Meanwhile, a scoreless 90 minutes between Sporting Kansas City and the San Jose Earthquakes ended with a dramatic penalty shootout. SKC won the shootout by a score of 4-2.
