Long-range goals were the key to victory for Sporting Kansas City Sunday. Nashville native Felipe Hernandez scored in the first half and veteran Graham Zusi followed up in the second half. Nashville made a furious attempt to level it but the home fans left disappointed.
Hernandez played youth soccer down the road from Nashville’s new GEODIS Park and a large contingent of family in attendance including his father. Hernandez said his father doesn’t typically want gifts but said he would accept a goal from his son on Father’s Day.
In the 41’st minute, Hernadez took a free kick from 40-yards out.
