#SportingKC fall in Seattle. 2-1. Should have been an draw, but Sounders get lucky break at the end.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

GOAL. Sounders get what's probably a late winner...an odd gift of a goal as Wyatt Meyer tries to clear it, and it goes off Roldan's foot and in while in full sprint. Four minutes of stoppage time. #SportingKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

GOAL. Sounders get a leveler in the second half. Jansen Miller did well to delay Jordan Morris, but nobody picked up Gomez's late-arriving run. #SportingKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That's the half. Sporting KC with...arguably...a deserved lead. 1-0. Christian Roldan has gifted Sporting the two goals it has scored against Seattle this year. #SEAvSKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

GOAL. Who else? André Luiz makes it 1-0 as Sporting's counterpress leads to a lead right before halftime. Excellent finish. Ragen made no effort to close down the angle. #SportingKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Ball is in the net for Seattle...offside flag goes up but it is confirmed offside. So, no goal.

010

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Now to numb the mind with sports. #SportingKC is scoreless with Seattle after ~ 15 minutes.

020

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

This unanimously passed. Unfortunately, this affects my daughter's school,which will close at the end of this year. It's the same school my wife attended, and her father has taught at for 28 years. Pay attention to who you vote for. Their poor choices at all levels lead to decisions like this.

061

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It did not end up in here, but even though André Luiz was subbed off last week, I'm told he's fine and has been training all week. Would be surprised if he's in the availability report coming later today. #SportingKC

KC Current overcomes mental, physical hurdles in crucial win for playoff hopes

Get the inside scoop on the Kansas City Current’s late-season push and Sporting KC’s next steps in The Star’s weekly soccer column.

I know this happened yesterday. But a point here: Since #LAFC defeated #SportingKC on July 25 4-0, Sporting KC has had more wins (2) in MLS play than LAFC (1). SKC has picked up 7 points since then, LAFC just 8. Not a surprising move considering the quality of that squad.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Wicky praised #SportingKC's reaction after last week. "The Philly game was a hard one. You do a really good 61 minutes and then you have 10 minutes where you're a disaster and concede 4 goals and you lose the game. That's mentally very hard after the season we've had...[1/2].

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It took 26 games. But #SportingKC has finally kept a clean sheet. 2-0 victory in Houston. Coincidentally, their last clean sheet came in a 0-0 draw against Houston at the end of the 2025 season. Luiz and Harris the scorers.

1140

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Four minutes of stoppage time. #SportingKC used a good spell of possession to kill this game. Houston expended a lot of energy from minutes 55-65 and then seemed cooked since.

050

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Afrifa 1v1 in and gets caught from behind...moment for a real dagger gone without a goal. #SportingKC

010

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Broadcast talking playoff picture for #SportingKC is...silly.

190

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Starting to feel a little like the way things went in the second half against Philly. #SportingKC a man up and playing against the ball. Shrinking a bit.

040

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Point-blank miss from Afrifa. Ramos has not come into the game yet, as Luiz took too long to come off the field. #SKCvHOU

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Looked like André Luiz motioned to the bench for a sub. Meanwhile, Houston is trying to goad someone into a yellow. Tim Ford calls one of the worst foul calls I've seen today. Looks like Ruben Ramos Jr. is coming on for Luiz. #SportingKC

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

André Luiz's shot with his right took a deflection and nearly killed Taylor Calheira.

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Seems like the producer heard me because they came back to action on a goal kick by zooming out from a full moon.

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

What a wild end to the half. #SportingKC is up 2-0 and up a man. Negri and Artur frankly set all this off, and have not found a way to chill out. Ben Olsen having a go at Ford at HT. Wild. #SKCvHOU

050

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The red card rightfully stands. Hector Herrera grabs Calheira by the throat. Now Calheira gets a yellow as play restarts. Halter gave him the ol' purple nurple. #SportingKC

031

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Negri lashed out at Luiz and luiz took exception to it. Hector Herrera just bowled over Taylor Calheira and received a red card. That's the first time all season an opponent has received a red card. We'll see if it stands. I'm not sure what happened.

020

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

GOAL. 2-0 to #SportingKC. Calvin Harris somehow redirects a pass from Luiz into the roof of the net.

141

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Dear #MLS and Apple TV producers: The ball is in the attacking third for one team. Stop showing us the AR and the bench.

070

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

That Andre Luiz fella is pretty good!

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Chris Armas said several players battled illness this week. Said Lo LaBonta was quite ill and played through it, could potentially not have played at one point. #KCBaby

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

FINAL. KC Current win 4-1. They move into sixth for now, but won't fall below eighth this weekend. Haley Hopkins will be the headline. Overall, a very good day for the Current. #KCBaby #KCvDEN

0101

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Chawinga gets in behind, but her volley goes wide. She herself could've had a hat-trick in the second half alone, never mind her chances in the first half. #KCBaby

080

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

We almost had an insane end-to-end run from Chawinga that led to a goal. But the shot goes just wide. Outpaced about five Summit defenders. #KCBaby

180

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Referee JC Griggs comes back from the monitor and gives the goal. Chawinga officially has made it 4-1. The Kansas City Current are gonna come away with a big win over Denver. The backheel Assist from VDB stands. #KCBaby

080

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Offside flag is robbing us of one of the coolest assists I've seen from Vanessa DiBernardo. Chawinga seems to be behind the outstretched toe from Natalie Means...and it's being reviewed. Might be a goal here...#KCBaby

160

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Baley Feist and Itala Gemelli are coming on. #KCBaby

020

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Debinha comes off for Rocky Rodriguez. Thought Deb really turned it up a notch in that 30th-60th minute range. Was everywhere on and off the ball. #KCBaby

060

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oke had pushed up much further for that goal. Chawinga saw it was Gaetino and hit that turbo boost. Nothing Denver could do to stop that train. #KCBaby

060

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

HOPKINS HATTY. Unreal end to end sequence. Temwa Chawinga gives that up to Haley. 3-1. #KCBaby

0110

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

GOAL. 2-1 Current. Haley Hopkins pounces on a loose ball and beats Abby Smith to it 1v1 in the midfield. A GIFT. #KCBaby #KCvNWSL

070

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Second half is underway. Current immediately go long and cough up possession. #KCBaby

030

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Four minutes of stoppage time. Don't think the Current have played particularly well today but they've found a way to get that scoreline level. #KCBaby

020

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I understand folks think that penalty is soft. Fine. But *if* the VAR still thought it was a foul enough not to overturn it, then a foul in that manner, in that place, with no defender between her and Smith, and her ability to still get to that ball, it's DOGSO. If it's not, then it's not a pen. 🤷‍♂️

260

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The restart was held a bit for a potential foul, but it stands. Five minutes to halftime. Cooper gets the assist on Hopkins' goal. #KCBaby #KCvDEN

010

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

GOAL. Current equalize. 1-1 in the 39th minute. Felt it might be coming. That looks like Hopkins who gets it past Smith. Game on. #KCBaby

020

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

SAVED BY SMITH. Debinha's penalty was poor. 1-0 Summitt. Now Denver is let off. #KCBaby

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Well they're not going to review for DOGSO. Stunned. Really big miss by the VAR. #KCBaby

220

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

PENALTY. Chawinga dragged down by the arm...and I'm surprised this isn't being reveiwed yet for DOGSO. She makes no attempt to play the ball and there is no defender in the vicinity to get to the ball. Meets nearly every marker. Not a card at all either. #KCBaby

040

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Chawinga narrowly wide. Whole East stand thought it was in. #KCBaby

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Lorena now with a big save on Tash Flint. #KCBaby
