Rodriguez's late goal helps Houston Dynamo draw with Sporting KC
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Raul Rodriguez's header went off the cross bar
and goalkeeper Alec Kann's back in the fourth minute of stoppage time to
give the Houston Dynamo a 3-3 draw with Sporting Kansas City on Friday
night.
Boniek Garcia put a long free kick into the box as the
closing seconds ticked off and the ball glanced off the back of
Rodriguez's head for the shocking goal.
The last-place Dynamos (5-11-11) ended Sporting's home winning streak at six.
Sporting
KC (11-12-6) took a 3-2 lead in the 81st minute when Dominic Dwyer
cleaned up a loose ball off a corner kick for his 13th goal.
Sporting
KC fell one short of the franchise record for consecutive home wins,
set in 1998 and matched in 2000. The point put Sporting KC seven points
clear of the red line but three points would have pulled them within two
of fourth-place Colorado in the battle for home field in the playoffs.
It
appeared that it would be an easy win for Sporting KC with Jacob
Peterson and Roger Espinoza scoring in the first 26 minutes. But Mauro
Mantas ended Sporting KC's home shutout streak at 376 minutes with a
goal at 30 minutes. Alex tied it in the 59th minute.
