Sporting KC routs Revolution, clinches berth in U.S. Open Cup

USOCLogo

Sporting Kansas City hopes that the rest of its home games unfold like Wednesday night's U.S. Open Cup play-in match did.

SKC routed the New England Revolution, 5-0, at the Blue Valley District Athletic Center in Overland Park, Kan., to clinch Major League Soccer's final berth in the Open Cup field of 40.

Chance Myers scored twice in the opening 19 minutes, C.J. Sapong also scored twice and Aurelien Collin added a tally to account for the scoring on a rainy night.

New England fielded an exclusively reserve lineup, while SKC coach Peter Vermes called on a mix of reserves and starters to get the job done. Designated Player Omar Bravo started, Ryan Smith and Kei Kamara came off the bench and Teal Bunbury sat out, as SKC enjoyed success in its first home match of the season. It's real home stadium, Livestrong Sporting Park, is slated to open on June 9.

SKC joins the Chicago Fire, Los Angeles Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, Seattle Sounders, FC Dallas, New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew as MLS teams that will get a bye to the Open Cup's Round of 16.
