The Swope Park Rangers fought to a 0-0 draw with the Charlotte Independence at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon. Both sides had plenty of chances, taking a total of 30 shots between them, but neither side was able to find the breakthrough as the Rangers move to to 1-7-5 (8 points) on the season.
The visitors threatened first as MLS veteran Dominic Oduro snuck in behind the Rangers backline, only for Adrian Zendejas to show his sharpness by coming off the line and smothering the pacey attacker as he entered the area. In the 11th minute, Zendejas again won the individual battle with Oduro by nipping the ball off his toes as the Charlotte attacker looked poised to score.
