Sporting KC moves back atop Western Conference with 2-0 win over FC Dallas
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Diego Rubio scored on a blast off Graham Zusi's corner kick in the 42nd and Sporting Kansas City beat FC Dallas 2-0 on Saturday night to move back atop the Western Conference standings.
Playing in front of its 100th straight sellout crowd, Sporting KC (10-5-10) extended its home unbeaten streak to 22 to match the fourth-longest home run in MLS history.
In stoppage time, Zusi also set up Gerso Fernandes' goal that sealed it. Fernandes took a long pass from Zusi down the right side, juked a defender and rifled a left-footed shot that curled in on the side of the net.
Peter Vermes says Gerso's late goal was "fantastic for us to seal the deal." @SportingKC #WeTogether #SKCvFCD pic.twitter.com/c0wfTtIpRS
