Sporting Kansas City extended its winless streak to six games. It was a rough night for Kansas City soccer but it was particularly bad for SKC. Not only did they look flat against a bitter rival but even bright spots in the lineup started to fade. The game ended in with Houston claiming the 2-0 victory but Sporting KC was lucky it was not worse.
When Peter Vermes vented about a lack of work and hustle out on the pitch he surely was not talking about Graham Zusi. Though curiously subbed out early in the 77th minute Zusi maintained his run of good form.
