The first goal of the night came from Latif Blessing (25′) to put the good guys up 1-0 heading into half time. Graham Zusi had the assist on that goal, and boy was it a beauty! It really couldn’t have been done any better than that honestly.

Ghanaian winger scores to win first trophy for Sporting Kansas
Ghanaian attacker Latif Blessing was on target for Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night as he helped them to a 2-1 win over New York Red Bulls to lift the US Open Cup.
The rest of the half was a scoreless effort for both teams, but Blessing’s goal wouldn’t be the only one on the night. It’s a good thing too, as the Red Bulls tried to attempt a late comeback in the match.
It was Blessing’s third goal of the 2017 Open Cup campaign, while Zusi—making his 250th competitive appearance for Sporting KC — recorded his team-leading seventh assist of the year.
