“In the Box”: Sporting Kansas City going universal, just in time
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports Three of Sporting Kansas City’s goals in last Sunday’s 4-2 win over Houston Dynamo were the type that should be set to music, perhaps the lyrical, yet dramatic layers of Mendelssohn’s “Op 30 no 6” (Jeno Jando) or the driving, pounding “Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young. Choices from any genre could fit Daniel Salloi’s 26th minute finish or Gadi Kinda’s 57th drive thru the defense. Because music, like beauty, is universal.
With only six matches (4 away, 2 home) left in the regular season, Sporting Kansas City need to be universal in their methods and execution. That universality is coming to the fore.
