It has been a very long journey for the MLS club in Kansas City but finally they open a stadium to call their own in Livestrong Sporting Park.
Sporting Kansas City is starting Jimmy Nielsen, Michael Harrington, Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin, Chance Myers, Kei Kamara, Luke Sassano, Davy Arnaud, Omar Bravo, Graham Zusi, Teal Bunbury
Chicago Fire are starting Sean Johnson, Bratislav Ristic, Yamith Cuesta, Cory Gibbs, Gonzalo Segares, Dominic Oduro, Daniel Paladini, Logan Pause, Corben Bone, Gaston Puerari, Cristian Nazarit
In-game commentary and thoughts after the break. I'm feeling lucky about the Fire's chances. Let's say a 2-1 victory to spoil Kansas City's special night.

trying to figure out other bench spot because Ryan Smith was a late scratch. Zusi starting in his place

Just to give Chaves some rest IMO. Chaves has looked gassed.

Oduro only knows how to fly. He doesn’t have any brakes.

Nice back and forth so far although it feels like KC has had more attacks. Will be interesting to see if this pace can continue.

yeah, but the Fire don’t seem to be able to do much of anything once they get down near the Sporks net. The way things are going, they need to score first to have a chance at winning this game.

I can’t argue with that right now

Sean Johnson and Yamith Cuesta playing very well on defense.

Cuesta seems to be getting better with each match. That blocked shot he had was nice

Twice by my count. Once in the corner and again in the midfield. You can’t turn your back on Sega and expect not to end up on the ground.

Looked like it should have been offside? Glad they didn’t score there.

We didn’t give up any any goals in the first half! This is quite an improvement, no?

Patrick Nyarko entered the game in the 54th minute of last week’s game. Under or over the 60th minute mark for him to enter the game?

Nice! I think the people at Small Bar are happy that the sound isn’t very high.

“Frank Klopas scored the second goal in Wizards History”-John Harkes…. You’d think scoring the goal that won the double is more important.
not to mention the first two home goals in Fire history at their ‘stadium opener’.

Paladini should have taken that. Nazarit with a terrible kick

Thunder storms comming in? Wouldn’t it be fun for this brand-new-state-of-the-art-expensive-ass stadium to get eaten up by a tornado like a trailer home?
like later tonight after everyone’s gone of course. Don’t want any one to get hurt
Win or lose, we'll always be there for you.
