Stats and milestones from this weekend’s games.
Two of Kansas City’s professional teams were in action over the weekend and it was a mix of results all around for the teams. On Saturday both Sporting KC and the KC Comets took the field on opposite ends of the metropolitan area. Sporting came away with a 0-0 draw against the LA Galaxy while the Comets suffered a frustrating 5-4 loss to the visiting Baltimore Blast. The Comets turned around and immediately went on the road for a game on Sunday in Milwaukee against the Milwaukee Wave. KC bounced back from the disappointing result on Saturday to secure a big 8-6 win over the Wave on Sunday.
