KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Los Angeles Galaxy defender Maya Yoshida had the only score on Sunday night, unfortunately it was an own goal that led to a 1-0 victory for Sporting Kansas City — continuing the worst start by a defending champion in league history.
The Galaxy (0-8-3) are still looking for their first victory 11 matches into the season and even a 3-0-2 record in five previous matchups with Sporting KC (3-7-1) didn't help.
Yoshida's own goal came in the 13th minute.
John Pulskamp had to make one save and it came in the first half on the way to his second clean sheet in his 11th start of the season for Sporting KC.
