Page "Sporting Kansas City" Paragraph 17

Because Livestrong Sporting Park was not ready for the beginning of the 2011 season, Sporting Kansas City played its first ten games on the road, only winning one game.

Once the road trip was over, the team found more success and ended the regular season with the most points of any Eastern Conference team.

After defeating the Colorado Rapids on a 4 – 0 aggregate in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Sporting lost to the Houston Dynamo by a score of 2 – 0 in the Eastern Conference finals.

At the beginning of the 2012 season Sporting started a perfect 7 – 0 – 0, and with the new addition of players such as Bobby Convey the team has remained on top of the league, setting an MLS record for most minutes played without allowing a shot on goal.

Kei Kamara, Graham Zusi, and C. J. Sapong have all had great seasons so far.
