The blue corner came out swinging.
Sporting KC was able to control possession and create several opportunities right from the start. In the 17’ minute Benny Feilhaber would open the scoring with a screamer. Graham Zusi left a perfectly waited ball just outside the box for on oncoming Feilhaber, who only need one touch to bend the ball off the far post and into the net. It it was elegant and seemingly effortless.
But the home side was relentless against their long time rival. They continued to move the ball around and find creases within the RSL defense.
