Sporting Kansas City got on the scoreboard first -- a goal from forward Teal Bunbury in the 13th minute. Ten minutes later, though, Nick DeLeon found the back of the net as well, his fourth of the season, to level the match. So at halftime, D.C. United and Sporting KC are tied at one goal apiece at Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City where the United have not won since 2007.
D.C. United has struggled a bit to keep pace with Kansas City, though. KC has 11 shots, four on goal, compared to just five and two from the Black-and-Red.
