The Norwegian midfielder stabilized the midfield, freed Manu Garcia, and scored the game-winning goal against the LA Galaxy
Lasse Berg Johnsen made his Sporting Kansas City debut on Saturday night against the LA Galaxy, and the Norwegian midfielder immediately showed why the club brought him to Kansas City.
In Sporting Kansas City’s opening three matches of the campaign, the team often lacked composure and defensive stability in midfield. Johnsen’s performance against the Galaxy addressed those issues directly.
