COMMERCE CITY, Colo.—After their recent five-match unbeaten run league play, Sporting Kansas City can't seem to buy a victory – or even a goal.
Sporting took their second straight road shutout loss on Saturday, falling 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids on a 78th-minute goal from Marlon Hairston.
“I just think the game was back and forth,” said Sporting manager Peter Vermes. “I don’t think anyone was taking the game one way or another. It was just a hard-fought match. We gave a bad ball away.”
And, as it has so many times this season, that bad ball hurt Vermes' side.
