The opening night of the MLS season was defined by the opportunity Sporting Kansas City had squandered. A late goal robbed the club of a valuable point on the road.
On Sunday, they got it back.
Just two weeks later, Johnny Russell ripped a free kick into the back of the net in the 88th minute, helping Sporting KC secure a late 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids in Commerce City, Colo., on Sunday.
That spoiled an evening previously reserved for Diego Rubio, a former Sporting KC striker who scored the game’s opening goal for Colorado in the 54th minute.
