Sporting Kansas City battled LA Galaxy to a 0-0 draw Thursday night at StubHub Center, snapping the club’s two-game losing skid ahead of the Copa America Centenario break.
LA Galaxy entered the contest leading MLS with 27 goals, including 18 in six games at StubHub Center. However, Sporting Kansas City held the hosts to a single shot the entire game, their fewest in a regular season match in club history. Center back Ike Opara anchored the stout defensive effort, making his 50th career regular season start, while Tim Melia notched Sporting Kansas City’s first shutout in 11 games dating back to April 9.
