It’s amazing what a little home field advantage can do for you. After losing two consecutive road matches, Sporting KC returned home and got a comfortable 3-0 win over Minnesota United. The win also avenged an earlier loss up north. It was a bit of makeshift lineups for both sides due to suspensions and international duty.
If you had asked Sporting KC fans who the three goal scorers would be, you would never get the combination of Ike Opara, Jimmy Medranda, and Saad Abdul-Salaam. It was one way traffic from the start. Sporting KC had the majority of the possession and the chances.
