KC Wizards Chasing Playoff Spot

The Wizards won their final home game of the season last weekend, beating the San Jose Earthquake 2-1 and keeping their playoff chances alive. They are one of five teams that still have a chance, along with New York, DC United, Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids.
