Sporting Kansas City’s unbeaten start to the season ended Saturday with a 1-0 loss to FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium. Maynor Figueroa provided the decisive goal in the 77th minute, delivering the hosts all three points in a battle of Major League Soccer’s two remaining undefeated clubs.
The result vaults FC Dallas (4-0-2, 14 points) to second place in the Western Conference, while Sporting Kansas City (3-1-3, 12 points) drops to fourth and sees their club-record four-game road shutout streak come to an end.
Manager Peter Vermes deployed an unchanged starting lineup from last weekend’s 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers, notably awarding midfielder Benny Feilhaber his 150th appearance for the club in all competitions.
