Beyond The Box Score: Sporting's dominant run in Galaxy series finally ends

As the cliche goes, all good things must come to an end.

Such was the case Wednesday night when Sporting Kansas City's long-standing unbeaten runs against the LA Galaxy were finally halted in a 2-0 defeat at Children's Mercy Park.

Manager Peter Vermes' side entered the fixture unbeaten in eight straight meetings with LA and owned an 11-game home unbeaten run in the regular season series. Both streaks were snapped as the Galaxy struck through Favio Alvarez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the second half to claim their first victory in Kansas City since 2007, back when the then-Wizards played at Arrowhead Stadium.
