Kansas City, Kan. • Daniel Salloi had a goal and an assist and Sporting Kansas City survived a late scare to beat the Chicago Fire 3-2 on Saturday night.
Salloi opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, Matt Besler tied it for Chicago (11-5-5) in 28th, and Benny Feilhaber gave Sporting KC (9-4-9) a 2-1 lead in first-half stoppage time. Latif Blessing scored in the 51st — off Salloi's assist — to increase Kansas City's lead to 3-1.
David Accam cut it to 3-2 in the 78th minute with his 12th goal. Accam has either a goal or an assist in 10 of his last 11 games.
