MLS Friday June 6th, 2014

One game tonight, as the Houston Dynamo host Sporting Kansas City. Eric Kronberg and Tyler Deric draw the starts in goal. Things got heated in the twenty-first minute, as Alexander Lopez was given a yellow card for his role in argument on the Houston side, while Kansas City's Toni was shown the red card for a fight, putting his team down to ten men. The Dynamo had another yellow card in the twenty-ninth minute on a foul by Andrew Driver. Sporting got on the board in the forty-fifth minute with a Soony Saad goal, set up by Benny Feilhaber. Houston returned to the referee's book in the second minute of first half stoppage time on an off the ball foul by Eric Brunner that brought out another yellow card. Kansas City added on to their lead as Dominic Dwyer deposited a penalty kick in the seventieth minute. The teams exchanged yellow cards later, as Jermaine Taylor and Saad had fouls worthy of being booked in the seventy-ninth and eighty-seventh minutes, respectively. Sporting picked up one more yellow in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time, as Kronberg was booked for time wasting. Still, the shorthanded side from Kansas City won 2-0, and Saad was the man of the match for the game-winner.
