Juice Boxes and Post Game Stats: Luiz Makes Debut

The rough season for Sporting Kansas City continued on Saturday night at Sporting Park as Sporting fell to the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0. The loss was KC’s sixth straight without a win. KC has just one win since the return to play from the World Cup and now has one win in their last nine league games. The winless run has them starting to come up to the worst season in Kansas City’s history based on points, the 1999 KC Wizards season. With fifteen points through twenty-two games, Sporting has just one more point than the Wizards had in the 1999 season. In fact, KC has themselves in a position where not winning next weekend against FC Dallas will put Sporting behind the pace of the 1999 team.

Here are the stats and milestones from last night.
