On Sunday, Sporting Kansas City (SKC) made history by defeating the Seattle Sounders with a full roster. This was SKC’s first win against the Sounders since 2014, and it was a well-deserved victory for the team.
SKC started off strong, scoring the first goal of the match in the 17th minute. The goal was scored by forward Johnny Russell, who was able to capitalize on a mistake by the Sounders defense. SKC then doubled their lead in the 33rd minute with a goal from midfielder Roger Espinoza.
The Sounders were able to pull one back in the second half, but SKC were able to hold on for the win. The victory was made even more impressive by the fact that SKC had a full roster of players available for the match. This is a rarity in Major League Soccer, as teams often have to make do with a depleted roster due to injuries and suspensions.
SKC manager Peter Vermes was understandably pleased with the result, saying “It was a great team performance and I’m proud of the guys for getting this result. We had a full roster available and that allowed us to play our best football.”
The win was a huge boost for SKC, who are now in second place in the Western Conference standings. It also gives them a psychological edge over the Sounders, who have been a thorn in SKC’s side for many years.
SKC will now look to build on this result and push for a spot in the playoffs. With a full roster of players available, they have every chance of achieving their goals this season.
