Nothing leading in to Friday night’s match between Sporting KC and D.C. United was normal.
Kickoff at Children’s Mercy Park was pushed back 2 1/2 hours because of weather concerns — and then the weather delayed the match nearly an hour at halftime.
United didn’t even make it into town until Friday morning, delayed by the storms that rolled through the area Thursday.
Unfortunately for Sporting KC, the result — a 1-0 loss — was all too familiar.
United’s Alhaji Kamara got the game-winner in the 86th minute. Kamara made his United debut only a minute earlier when fortune smiled upon him.
