SportingKC.com to stream epic 2015 comeback win over Vancouver at 7 p.m. CT Thursday

One of the all-time greatest comebacks in Major League Soccer history will stream exclusively on SportingKC.com this Thursday at 7 p.m. CT.


On Aug. 15, 2015, Sporting Kansas City reversed a two-goal deficit in the final moments to secure a stunning 4-3 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC at electric Children's Mercy Park.


Kevin Ellis and Dom Dwyer sparked the rally with the first of of Sporting's four second-half goals to set up a climatic conclusion with two goals from Paulo Nagamura. The Brazilian leveled the match at 3-3 in the 87th minute and scored the game-winner in the final minute of stoppage time, making his legendary mark on what has since been dubbed "The Nagamura Game."


Kekuta Manneh's first-half brace had given the visitors a 2-0 halftime lead and Pedro Morales came off the bench to bury a free kick in the 75th minute that made the score 3-1. However, Sporting's three late goals marked only the second time in which a team that trailed by two goals in the 80th minute came back to win an MLS match in regulation.


Per MLS rules, Thursday night's stream will be geofenced to viewers in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.
