Two goals in three minutes were enough for Sporting Kansas City to surge ahead for a comeback victory over the New York Red Bulls in manager Gerhard Stuber’s debut at Red Bull Arena. The double whammy of a Gabi Kinda penalty and a Daniel Salloi finish canceled out Caden Clark’s characteristically bombastic opener to end the night in a 2-1 Kansas City victory.
The first half saw New York largely overwhelm Sporting with bodies in the midfield as Gerhard Struber’s diamond midfield restricted space. Though unable to break through with a goal before the break, the Red Bulls moved as a unit with new signings leading the way - Fábio Gomes Netto’s hold up play and pressing impressed in particular along with left back Andrew Gutman’s tenacity on both sides of the ball.
