Sporting Kansas City's frenetic stretch of six games in 18 days -- highlighted by road matches in four different time zones across three countries -- came to a climactic close on Sunday as Scottish international Johnny Russell buried a sensational free kick in the 88th minute to earn Sporting Kansas City a 1-1 draw in dramatic fashion against the Colorado Rapids.
Nearly a year after Sporting stunned the Rapids with a 91st-minute equalizer from a second-half substitute at Dick's Sporting Goods Park last March, the stage was set once again for similar late-game theatrics as Sporting secured another road result in Colorado on a moment of magic from the team's 2018 Offensive Player of the Year.
