Sporting Kansas City fell 2-0 on the road to the Colorado Rapids Saturday night. Former SKC forward Diego Rubio scored the winning goal.
Manager Peter Vermes was forced into making two changes from the 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo. With Khiry Shelton injured against Houston and Daniel Salloi picking up a “knock” recently, striker Nikola Vujnovic started at center forward and Marinos Tzionis on the left. Neither player has had much time to learn SKC’s style of play and that is especially true for Vujnovic, who just arrived this week.
SKC could not build a consistent offence early on and it did not take long before Colorado was able to transition quickly and score.
