30 shots. No goals. Sporting KC was creating chances against the LA Galaxy on Saturday night.
Unfortunately, they were playing soccer. Where ‘close’ doesn’t count.

While Daniel Salloi has yet to find midseason form and Willy Agada appears to struggle with confidence, the impact of missing Johnny Russell has been painfully obvious.
