With Omar Bravo back from an abductor injury, there was question as to whether Peter Vermes would put him in the starting lineup or stick with the three-man front line of Kei Kamara, Teal Bunbury and C.J.

With the Houston Dynamo defending deep, as expected, having three speedsters up top isn't doing Sporting Kansas City much good.
