Sporting Kansas City fell to the Colorado Rapids 2-1 on Wednesday at Children’s Mercy Park. Dom Dwyer moved into a tie atop the MLS scoring charts with his fourth goal of 2016, but Colorado struck late in each half through Luis Solignac and Shkelzen Gashi to claim the road win.
Wednesday’s match commemorated the 20th anniversary of Sporting Kansas City’s inaugural game, a 3-0 win over the Rapids on April 13, 1996, at Arrowhead Stadium. A 74th consecutive sellout crowd at Children’s Mercy Park saw Colorado (3-2-1) move within two points of Sporting Kansas City (4-2-0) in the Western Conference standings.
