Medranda, Sporting KC Extend Unbeaten Streak, Beat NYCFC 3-1

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)-- Jimmy Medranda scored his first-career MLS goal and Sporting Kansas City extended its unbeaten streak to five games with a 3-1 win over New York City FC on Sunday night.

Medranda blasted a left-footer, from well outside the box, past Josh Saunders into the back of the net to give Sporting (8-8-4) a 2-1 lead in the 16th minute.

Benny Feilhaber's tap-in goal, off the back of Saunders, opened the scoring in the eighth.

Frank Lampard tied it in the 14th minute, rolling a right-footer, off the feed from Ronald Matarrita, just inside the near post.

Feilhaber flicked the ball into the area and Ike Opara outdueled defender Frederic Brillant at the top of the 6-yard box to slip the ball into the net in the 51st.

Feilhaber has three goals and two assists in the last four matches.

NYCFC (8-6-6), the points leader in the Eastern Conference, had its four-game winning streak snapped.
