Sporting KC earned a 2-2 draw on the road at FC Dallas on Saturday night. It was Sporting KC's fifth draw of the season and keeps them third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Man of the Match
Graham Zusi returned from the U.S. Men's National Team and didn't miss a beat on Saturday night. The midfielder played more a central role and helped to create numerous chances througout the match. Zusi played a part in both Sporting KC goals. On the first goal, it was Zusi's free kick led to the penalty kick and on the second it was a corner kick the midfielder curled into the six yard box.
Turning Point
The red card to C.J. Sapong flipped the momentum of the match. Sporting KC had recently doubled their lead on a second half own goal and appeared to be on their way to another road victory. Some credit should be given to FC Dallas who took advantage of the red card with two late goals.
