Oh Captain, My Captain: Besler gives Sporting 3-2 win over Crew SC in stoppage time

Matt Besler came off the bench to give Sporting Kansas City a stoppage winner to beat Columbus Crew SC by a final score of 3-2 on Sunday night. The win moves KC into 4th place in the Western Conference and into an MLS playoff position.

Matt Besler was not the captain tonight. He wasn't even in the Starting XI. But he came off the bench to score the dramatic match winner in the 91' minute and remind us all what he really is.

It was a high flying, back-and-forth affair tonight at CMP. Sporting KC and conceded an early lead to Columbus Crew SC but would come from behind and get the 3-2 win.
