News about Erik Thommy

Sporting Kansas City will not go back to play in MLS without a victory this season. The last team without a victory in MLS lost the title by a 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC. With SKC on the road to the Western Conference leaders, they woke up early with a fourth minute goal from German central midfielder Erik Thommy. Alan Pudilo, the Mexican center forward, was quickly followed by a 31st-minute penalty, who converted the shot from a tight angle.

During Kansas City's 4-1 victory over the Portland Timbers last night, the megaphone-wielding fan was struck squarely in the chest by a free kick. The crowd erupted in a collectively shocked reaction to the fan being struck. After being struck, the fan was knocked down, and good Samaritans near her were able to help her. After bouncing out to a 3-0 lead in the first half, KC won the game.
