After seven weeks, Major League Soccer is left with just one unbeaten team.
Sporting Kansas City was bounced from the list in Frisco, Texas.
In a matchup of two undefeated clubs, FC Dallas dealt Sporting KC its first loss Saturday, a 1-0 defeat inside Toyota Stadium in the Lone Star State.
In the span eight days, a pair of flights to contrastive quadrants of the country offered Sporting KC opportunities, even if they weren’t publicly acknowledged. It had the chance to show its mettle in the Western Conference, to prove its first-rate start to 2017 was no fluke.
