Match report
Minnesota United FC came from a goal down to beat Sporting Kansas City 3-1, with Anthony Markanich, Mauricio González Carabalí and Kelvin Yeboah all scoring after Taylor Calheira had put the visitors ahead.
Calheira opened the scoring in the 31st minute for Sporting Kansas City, and Minnesota were 1-0 down at half-time. Kelvin Yeboah was booked in first-half stoppage time before the interval.
Minnesota thought they had equalised in the 48th minute, but a VAR check ruled out Mauricio González Carabalí's effort. After Sporting Kansas City made three changes on 58 minutes, Minnesota kept pushing and equalised in the 72nd minute when Anthony Markanich finished from Joaquín Pereyra, who had come on in the 59th minute. Four minutes later, González Carabalí restored the lead from Nectarios Triantis's assist, and Yeboah made it 3-1 in the 88th minute, with Tomás Chancalay, who had come on in the 60th minute, providing the pass. Minnesota then used their final changes, while Sporting Kansas City added one more substitution on 89 minutes.
The home side had 58% of the possession, 540 passes to Sporting Kansas City's 403, and 18 shots to 10. They also had more shots on target, 8-2, more corners, 8-4, and an expected-goals figure of 1.85 to 0.78, while Sporting Kansas City had the only save-count edge, 5-1. Both teams committed 11 fouls.
Minnesota were booked four times, with Kelvin Yeboah on 45+4 minutes, Mauricio González Carabalí on 59 minutes, Anthony Markanich on 61 minutes and Cherrion Valerius on 71 minutes. Sporting Kansas City finished with no yellow cards or red cards.
