ST PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Anthony Markanich and Mauricio Gonzlez scored four
minutes apart midway through the second half and Kelvin Yeboah added his 18th
goal of the season to help Minnesota beat Sporting Kansas City 3-1 on Wednesday
night.
Minnesota (9-12-11), which entered with a six-point gap to make up for a
playoff spot, is unbeaten in its last five matches with two victories.
Kansas City (6-22-4) has lost four straight games.
Markanich tied it at 1-all in the 72nd minute by heading in a corner kick by
Joaqun Pereyra. It was his ninth goal of the season --- to match last year's
total. Minutes later, a Sporting KC turnover led to Nectarios Triantis finding
a wide-open Gonzlez on his left for a calm finish.
Toms Chancalay forced another turnover deep in Sporting KC's area and sent a
pass to a wide-open Yeboah near the corner of the six-yard box for a shot off
the hand of a diving Stefan Cleveland.
Taylor Calheira scored for Sporting in the 31st.
