Kansas City edges San Diego 1-0 on late André Luiz penalty

Kansas City won 1-0 at Snapdragon Stadium. André Luiz converted a penalty in the 76th minute, and Stefan Cleveland made sure it stood up.

The first half was scoreless and so was the early second half. Then Luiz stepped up and sent a left footed shot into the bottom right corner. It was the only goal of the night. Luiz also led Kansas City with 7 shots.

Cleveland was the player of the game with a Chirp Rating of 8.3. He made 4 saves and kept the clean sheet. San Diego pushed back behind Bryan Zamblé, who took 5 shots, and Christopher McVey, who completed 117 accurate passes. Neither effort produced a goal.

Kansas City moves to 7-5-22. San Diego falls to 9-11-14.

Chirp's Sim had San Diego at 61% in 10,000 simulations before the game, so this one went the other way.
