On a night in which he made four saves in a penalty-kick shootout, Swope Park Rangers goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas’s defensive night was overshadowed.
By himself.
In the 11th round of the shootout, Zendejas buried the game-winning kick, helping Swope Park defeat the OKC Energy 0-0 (7-6 in penalty kicks) in the USL Western Conference final on Saturday night.
The Rangers, a minor-league affiliate of Sporting Kansas City, will play in the USL championship match for the second straight season. They will travel to face Louisville City FC on Nov. 13.
The Rangers finished as runner-up in their inaugural season last year.
