New York (AFP) – Nigerian striker Willy Agada scored the deciding goal in the 76th minute to give Sporting Kansas City a 2-1 victory Sunday over visiting Chicago in the Leagues Cup.


Greek striker Georgios Koutsias opened the scoring for the Fire in the 22nd minute only for US defender Robert Castellanos of Kansas City to net the equalizer in the 39th minute.

The tournament features MLS and Mexico's Liga MX teams in a World Cup-style event featuring three-team groups with each advancing two into knockout rounds.

Host New York City FC edged Mexico's Queretaro 4-3 on penalties after playing to a goalless draw. New York gets two points in the group table to one for Queretaro with FC Cincinnati yet to play.

Sunday's matches marked the end of the first round of group matches with the second wave starting on Tuesday.


Defending champion Inter Miami, without injured star Lionel Messi, beat Puebla on Saturday in their group opener. Puebla and Tigres UANL will play on Wednesday in Houston, where Miami will face Tigres on Saturday to close their group.
