The Swope Park Rangers (6-17-7, 25 points) cruised to a 3-1 victory over Birmingham Legion FC (11-13-6, 39 points) at Children’s Mercy Park on Monday night. Wilson Harris scored his eighth goal in his last nine games to open the scoring, before Ayyoub Allach notched his first goal for the club from the penalty spot. J.J. Williams pulled a goal back for Birmingham, but after Brian Wright was sent off for the visitors, Ze Pedro made the points safe.
The Rangers thought they’d taken the lead in the fourth minute, but the flag went up after Harris slid Jaylin Lindsey’s cross through the legs of Matt VanOekel.
