It’s no secret, Sporting Kansas City was in a tough stretch of matches with this being the third game in Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday string against tough opponents. Add in all the injuries forcing several players to play all three games and Sporting KC should not have had a chance in Houston.
Then their was the heat and the humidity making it even harder on SKC’s tired legs.
With all of that stacked against the visitors, it’s no wonder the Houston Dynamo started on the front foot while the SKC adjusted to the conditions. It did not take long for Sporting KC to start to build some possession but could not find the final pass in the Houston end to make their patient work pay off.
