Zusi's goal was a strike from the edge of the 18-yard box that was curled just inside the far post to level the match at 1-1. Sporting KC would continue the momentum with a late game-winner from Jacob Peterson in the 80th minute to earn the club's fifth consecutive road win -- a new club record -- and extend their lead atop the Eastern Conference standings. Sporting KC is 15-0-1 all-time when Zusi scores a goal.


Saturday's goal puts Zusi in 10th place in the club's all-time chart with 19. Alongside teammates Matt Besler and Aurelien Collin, Zusi is on the MLS All-Star Gameday roster for the upcoming match against Bayern Munich on August 6 at Portland.


Zusi's goal is one of five Week 20 nominees alongside Nick LaBrocca (COL), Federico Higuain (CLB), Shea Salinas (SJ), and Gabriel Torres (COL)
