All the pieces were there for Sporting Kansas City playing in front of their home fans during these COVID times. A dramatic early chance, a strong Tim Melia save. The winless Houston Dynamo as the opponent. By the time Darwin Quintero curled a low ball into the right corner of the Kansas City net in the 57th minute, who Sporting was in 2020 was in doubt.
For the first time in 171 days (March 7), Sporting Kansas City returned home Tuesday evening.
Better yet, they returned at the top spot in MLS’s Western Conference with 15 points (5-1-0).
