Off thirteen days from an international break and off to a mediocre start in league play, Sporting Kansas City (1-1-1) needed a victory in hosting Montreal Impact (2-1) on Saturday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park. Enter a seemingly inspired and rejuvenated side. In a thoroughly dominating performance, Sporting Kansas City took no mercy on their generous French-Canadian visitors to the tune of a 7-1 win. Johnny Russell hit a brace, Kristian Nemeth a hat trick, and Felipe Gutierrez and Gianluca Busio scored single markers for the hosts as Gerso Fernandes terrorized the Impact defense throughout.
Merci! Sporting puts seven on Impact
