The team's 16 game home unbeaten streak was snapped in a spectacular fashion.
It was a familiar scene for the 18,866 fans at Sporting Park. Only three minutes into the match, Cordell Cato scored to put the San Jose Earthquakes ahead. Last Saturday, Kekuta Manneh scored in the ninth minute for the Vancouver Whitecaps. And one week ago, Olmes Garcia gave Real Salt Lake the first tally at Sporting Park.
However, this time, Sporting Kansas City could not come back from the early deficit.
