Five years ago today, Sporting Kansas City strolled into the Big Apple and handed expansion side New York City FC their first loss at iconic Yankee Stadium.
Sporting's center backs combined for the decisive goal in the early stages as Ike Opara towered above the rest to steer a powerful header into the back of the net off of captain Matt Besler's signature long throw-in. The visitors saw out a 1-0 victory for their first triumph of an exciting 2015 campaign that ended with a playoff appearance and a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title.
However, the club's first trip to Yankee Stadium is perhaps best remembered for something that happened on the field after the match.
