In time, perhaps the entirety of the 90 minutes played Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park will live in some sort of Sporting Kansas City lore. Perhaps those who attended or watched will even remember it fondly.
But certainly not for its aesthetics.
Sporting Kansas City erased a two-goal deficit to eke out a 4-4 draw with the New England Revolution on Saturday.
In a match that felt enough of a lost cause for the stadium to half empty at halftime, Sporting KC departed with underlying concerns that will at least partially overshadow the satisfying conclusion. Which was this: Krisztian Nemeth scored his second goal of the game in the 83rd minute to help Sporting KC complete a two-goal comeback in the final 25 minutes.
