Sporting KC II (5-17-8) closed out the home portion of their 2021 season with a 1-0 win over Atlanta United (7-13-10) on Wednesday night at Children’s Mercy Park.
The early going to the game set the tone for what turned into a very open game. Just four minutes in, Enoch Mushagalusa was played in behind Atlanta’s defense but his shot was right at Vicente Reyes, who smothered the shot. Kansas City continued to have the better of the play and creating the better chances but lacked the finishing touch. Mataeo Bunbury had a chance go just wide, while Jake Davis came within inches of scoring his third goal from outside the box in two games as he hit the cross bar in the 19th minute.
