On Sunday, Sporting Kansas City walked away with a Western Conference clinching victory despite being down a man against then #2 ranked Los Angeles Football Club. The part where they were down a man is where the controversy rests.
In the 60th minute, LAFC took a corner kick that was headed by Ike Opara across the goal and Adama Diomande got on the end of it and drove it towards goal where Seth Sinovic was standing on the post and blocked it away. The announcers immediately applauded his positioning and strong defensive play.
