KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Morgan Guilavogui scored two goals, Sergi Solans added a goal, and Real Salt Lake beat Sporting Kansas City 3-1 on Saturday night.

Rafael Cabral had one save for RSL (10-14-6).

Guilavogui slipped a shot from near the right end line past goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland and inside the back post to give RSL a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute and Solans slammed home a first-touch shot off a deflection to make it 2-0 in the 14th.

Guilavogui slammed home a first-touch shot, off a feed from Noel Caliskan, that capped the scoring in the 61st minute. Guilavogui, a 28-year-old forward in his first MLS season, had his first career multi-goal game.

Taylor Calheira scored a goal in the 26th minute for Sporting (6-20-4), the only team in the Western Conference officially eliminated from contention for the 2026 MLS Cup playoffs.

Cleveland finished with five saves.

Winless in four straight and Kansas City’s 22 points this season are the fewest in MLS. Sporting has the worst goal differential in the league at minus-39. Going into Saturday, Montreal (minus-24) was the only other team with a goal differential worse than minus-17 (Austin).
