Sporting Kansas City "not ready to give up without a fight"

Late into the Kansas City night, it looked like Sporting KC were going to come up short of three points in a must-win match at home.

Then, Erik Hurtado made a run behind, like he had a handful of other times. But this time Johnny Russell played him in through the channel and Hurtado took an extra touch to round Vito Mannone and put the ball into the back of the net to send the Kansas City faithful into a state of euphoria.

A late winner, against a top opponent, in the middle of a playoff chase.
