Monday Night Fullbacking - Right at Home

In which our heroes hold on to a one goal victory courtesy of Jacob Peterson's noggin, and other such happenings.

Sporting Kansas City improved their home record to 8-1-4 Sunday afternoon in a wet and wild match. Jacob Peterson's glancing header found it's way past a diving Jake Gleeson, the one shot he couldn't keep out. Sporting forced Gleeson into five saves, all of them excellent, while allowing Portland just one shot on goal. Both teams were denied by the post as well, with Benny Feilhaber and Saad Abdul-Salaam hitting the post for the hosts while Jack McInerny hit the post near the death to almost salvage a point for Portland, but in the end, a 1-0 victory for the good guys would stand.
