Sporting Kansas City recorded their third away win this season, defeating the LA Galaxy 2-0 as Johnny Russell and Khiry Shelton opened their scoring accounts this season at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California on Sunday, July 4.
The heroics of Tim Melia kept Sporting in it, setting Sporting up to steal all three points with goals from Johnny Russell in the 81st minute and Khiry Shelton in the fourth minute of stoppage time. It wasn’t a comeback, but it sure did feel like one after such a brutal first half in which LA outshot SKC 9-1.
