It was also his 137th goal contribution — third all time. Sporting KC (0-2-0) pulled within a goal in the 27th minute on a penalty-kick goal by newcomer Dejan Joveljic. The PK was awarded after a foul on San Jose midfielder Ian Harkes. Joveljic was acquired from the Los Angeles Galaxy after scoring 21 goals through all competitions last season.
