Sporting Kansas City players and supporters still griped a bit even though their team stands in first place in MLS Western Conference. The complaints started following a tough home draw recently against their strongest rival yet, Columbus Crew SC.
A frustrating 0-0 draw for two points-collecting teams, yes. Yet home G Tim Melia and Columbus G Zack Steffan had brilliant performances with three saves apiece. And supporters believe they saw a great MLS Championship game – preview at least – at regular-season prices.
Steffan’s 415 minutes-run of scoreless soccer sets a team record.
