BoX sCoRes 2012 LaMaR Hunt u .s . oPen CuP

22

sporting Kansas City was crowned the Lamar Hunt u .s . open Cup Champions for the first time since 2004 after beating the seattle sounders FC at LiVestRonG sporting Park 3-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regulation . sporting KC took the lead on a Kei Kamara penalty kick in the 84th minute after a hand ball by Zach scott . the goal marked Kamara’s second goal in u .s . open Cup competition since joining Kansas City . Just two minutes later, seattle’s scott got a bit of redemption when he notched the equalizer off a free kick from Rosales .

after two overtime periods the match was still tied and headed to a best-of-five shootout . sporting KC, shooting first, began with Kamara’s second successful attempt of the night . the sounders would match it with a make of their own through Brad evans’ shot to his left . Gspurning gave his team the advantage with a stop on espinoza and seattle momentarily led following Marc Burch’s blast down the middle . Besler pulled sporting KC back level with a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net .

alonso and Zusi both sent their shots over the crossbar in back-to-back attempts, and nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian tiffert to send it to the fifth and final penalty kick with it all to be decided . nagamura’s initial attempt was saved by Gspurning, but he was ruled to have come off his line early and the Brazilian calmly converted the ensuing second chance to his left to put sporting KC ahead in dramatic fashion .

Johnson walked to the spot with LiVestRonG sporting Park in a frenzy, needing to score to keep seattle alive . Back in Kansas City for the first time since he played with the then-Wizards in 2007, Johnson’s shot sailed over the crossbar and brought an end to the shootout with seattle’s third straight miss from the mark .

Prior to the shootout loss, the sounders had won three straight u .s . open Cups, and had not been bested in the competition since august 12, 2008, when they were still a united soccer League franchise .
