With Sporting Kansas City trailing the Colorado Rapids 2-1 in the final moments of Saturday's match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Manager Peter Vermes looked to his bench for a game changer.
Diego Rubio was summoned in the 88th minute as the visitors pushed for an equalizer, and the 24-year-old Chilean promptly delivered with 91 minutes on the clock. The forward's neat finish off a Khiry Shelton back-heel rescued Sporting KC a point and extended the club's unbeaten run to three games heading into a Week 5 home tilt with D.C. United this Saturday at Children's Mercy Park.
