ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Michael Boxall and Tani Oluwaseyi each scored a goal to help Minnesota United beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 Saturday night and end a five-game losing streak in the series.
Boxall scored on a volley off a header by Robin Lod to give Minnesota 1-0 lead in the second minute.
Minnesota (5-2-2), which beat Charlotte 3-0 last time out, has won back-to-back games following a three-game winless streak.
Joseph Rosales played a low cross right in front of the net to Oluwaseyi at the back post, where he tapped in a goal from point-plank range to make it 2-0 in the 25th minute.
Alan Pulido ran onto a cross played by Dániel Sallói at the top of the penalty area, took a dribble and bounced a side-footed into the net from near the spot for Sporting in the 38th.
Kansas City (2-3-5) had scored multiple goals in six consecutive games — and has 12 goals in its last five matches — but is winless, with three losses, in six straight.
