Sporting Kansas City (5-2-2, 17 points) came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw for the second straight game, sharing the spoils with FC Dallas (2-1-4, 10 points) on Wednesday night at Children’s Mercy Park to stay atop the Western Conference standings.
Dallas landed the first punch on an early goal from Franco Jara, but center forward Khiry Shelton conjured an equalizer on the stroke of halftime to match an MLS career-high with his fourth goal of the season. Sporting outshot their opponents 22-5 over the course of the evening, but the visitors finished with 14 blocks—tied for the most in an MLS game since the dawn of the Opta era in 2010—to emerge with a point.
