Los Angeles (USA), May 7 (EFE).- Sporting Kansas City, bottom team in the West in the MLS, gave a surprise this Sunday by beating the Seattle Sounders 1-2, who are the leaders of this conference .
After seven losses and three draws, this is the first win for Kansas City this year in MLS after having played eleven games.
On the other hand, the Sounders suffered a serious setback and did not take advantage of the fact that the match between St. Louis City (second in this conference) and Dallas FC was suspended on Saturday due to bad weather with a provisional result of 0-0.
They also wasted a loss to Los Angeles FC (third in the West), who lost their first game of the year 2-1 to the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday.
In this game that closed the 11th round of the MLS, Kansas City struck very early in Seattle and took the lead in the 4th minute with a goal from Erik Thommy coming from behind to finish inside the area.
The good feelings of the visitors continued at minute 31 when the Mexican Alan Pulido made a good clearance into space and scored the second goal for his team skillfully crossing the ball to the far post.
Seattle turned to attack in search of a comeback and closed the gap in minute 66 thanks to Uruguayan Nicolás Lodeiro, who converted a penalty caused by Colombian Fredy Montero.
However, the locals were unsuccessful in front of goal and Kansas City sealed a victory as valuable as it was unexpected.
