Injuries and lack of defensive experience result in fourth-straight defeat for Sporting KC

It may have been Peter Vermes 300th MLS regular-season game in charge of Sporting KC, but he won’t look back on Saturday evening’s game fondly, as Sporting KC fell 3-2 to New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena

The result extends Sporting KC’s winless streak to four as their once-staunch hold at the top of the Western Conference slipped further and further away. Injuries to key players continue to plague Vermes’ team, as players who typically don’t play consecutive games are now being asked to hold consistent first team positions.

“We’ve got to figure out a way of how to still get results,” Vermes said after the game during a phone interview.
