It may have taken a while for the breakthrough, but Sporting KC fought off the Houston Dynamo in Saturday’s home opener for all three points. Remi Walter got the second half winner, and the fans got the post-match party in the Member’s Stand.
Children’s Mercy Park was buzzing. Sporting was in control and asking questions of the Houston defense right from the start. The Dynamo barely saw any of the ball in the first 15 minutes. But at the same time, they had survived an onslaught.
Most of the attack was coming from the right side through Johnny Russell.
