Not an inspiring start for D.C. United, which fell at home to Sporting Kansas City, 1-0. The goal was manufactured by a pair of players with local ties: Northern Virginia’s C.J. Sapong (Forest Park High School, Prince William Soccer, James Madison University) and former Maryland Terrapin Graham Zusi.
