With Sporting Kansas City's backs against the wall, 21-year-old homegrown forward Daniel Salloi spearheaded one of the biggest comebacks in club history on Saturday night.
Salloi cut into the Houston Dynamo's 2-0 lead with a 59th-minute strike before assisting two goals in the final five minutes as Sporting KC emerged 3-2 winners in a thrilling battle at Children's Mercy Park. Salloi's role in the fightback landed him MLSsoccer.com MLS Team of the Week honors on Monday, marking the second time the Sporting KC Academy product has earned the accolade this season.
Houston took a two-goal cushion into halftime after Mauro Manotas struck early and late in the first period.
