Sporting KC decimated in 7-2 loss at Los Angeles Galaxy
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY SportsWhen Sporting KC went into their match with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday evening, they needed a win to give themselves a chance at the playoffs.
What they got instead was a microcosm of their 2019 season, with early hope dashed, then pummeled out of existence as they fell 7-2 in Carson.
It was the second straight loss for Sporting KC.
Right off the bat, Sporting KC almost took an early lead. Felipe Gutierrez took a chance from outside the box on his left foot, but what made it interesting was the deflection it took. Originally headed for the right corner of the goal, the ball’s trajectory instead took it to the other side and it clanged off the post.
