The confetti falling at Children’s Mercy Park was a welcome sight for Sporting Kansas City fans. Colorado didn’t have their first choice backline due to multiple injuries, and Sporting KC took advantage to the tune of a 3-1 win.
The defense looked solid and Tim Melia had a big save that fans are accustomed to seeing, but the story of the day was the offensive output.

This goal was created due to the strength Sporting has on the right side and the new pieces in the Rapids’ defense.
