KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Matteo Mancosu scored a late goal to help the short-handed Montreal Impact to a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night.
Evan Bush had four saves -- including a diving stop of Benny Feilhaber's shot in the opening minutes -- for Montreal (4-4-5). The Impact are without seven players on international duty.
Mancuso ran after a free ball and, from just inside the box, chipped it over the head of a charging Tim Melia into the corner of the net to make it 1-1 in the 82nd minute.
