San Jose Earthquakes dominated Sporting Kansas City 3–0 in an MLS encounter that reflected a stark gulf in attacking threat and clinical finishing. The hosts controlled the match through their 4–2–3–1 shape, accumulating 17 shots with six on target and an expected goals figure of 3.03, while Kansas City managed only seven shots and a single effort on target from their 4–4–1–1 formation. Daniel Munie's two-goal haul proved decisive, with Preston Judd adding the third as San Jose converted their chances with ruthless efficiency. Sporting's goalkeeper recorded a perfect 100% save percentage but faced minimal work, conceding 0.08 expected goals above their actual performance—a reflection of how rarely they threatened. The visitors' xG of just 0.45 underscored their creative impotence throughout, leaving them thoroughly outplayed. This comprehensive victory demonstrates San Jose's current attacking potency and Sporting's defensive vulnerability.
