KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Milos Stojcev and Kei Kamara scored goals a minute apart in the second half of Sporting Kansas City’s 3-0 victory against the semipro Chicago Fire PDL on Tuesday night.

Kansas City has not lost in four appearances — three Major League Soccer matches and Tuesday night’s game — in the new Livestrong Sporting Park.

Sporting will host the Richmond Kickers, a USL Pro team, on July 12. Richmond upset MLS’ Columbus Crew 2-1 earlier Tuesday.

Teal Bunbury put Kansas City up early, scoring in the third minute on an assist from Luke Sassano. Stojcev made it 2-0 in the 58th minute and Kamara scored on a diving header in the 59th to make it 3-0.
