Sporting Kansas City (0-3-1, 1 point) made history on Saturday, rallying from a three-goal deficit for the first time ever to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw against regional rivals Minnesota United FC (2-1-1, 7 points) at a snowy Children’s Mercy Park.
Despite falling behind 3-0 after a stunning strike from Hassani Dotson and a brace from Tani Oluwaseyi, Sporting refused to back down. The home side ignited an electrifying comeback with three goals in just 12 minutes, snapping a 10-game losing streak that stretched back to last September. Daniel Salloi sparked the resurgence in the 68th minute with a composed finish, Shapi Suleymanov’s pressure forced an own goal just four minutes later, and star striker Dejan sealed the comeback with a brilliant equalizer in the 80th minute.
Saturday’s thriller was only the 19th time in MLS history that a team has erased a three-goal deficit to earn a win or draw in the regular season. The momentum now shifts in Sporting’s favor as they prepare for their next challenge—a home clash against LAFC (2-2-0, 6 points) on Saturday, March 22, at 7:30 p.m. CT. Fans can secure their seats for the Western Conference showdown now.
