<\/p>\n

KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 No. 10 San Diego lost a player to a red card before halftime Sunday night, then spent the rest of the evening trading chances with a ranked host, falling 1-0 to Kansas City in front of 490 at Durwood Soccer Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Toreros (5-2-1, 0-0-0 WCC) were reduced to 10 players in the 36th minute and still finished level with the Roos (5-1-2, 0-0-0 Summit League) at 12 shots apiece. San Diego held a 4-2 edge in shots on goal and forced every save Kansas City’s goalkeeper was asked to make.<\/p>\n

Playing short-handed did not slow the attack. The Toreros took nine shots after the break to Kansas City’s eight, and three of those drew saves out of the Roos’ keeper.<\/p>\n

Kansas City broke through in the 74th minute, when Mariano Beunza scored his fourth of the season off a two-man buildup, 38 minutes after the sending off.<\/p>\n

San Diego’s best stretch came at the end. The Toreros generated five shots inside the final 10 minutes, three of them on frame, with Matteo Salcedo<\/a> testing the keeper in the 81st and again in the 88th and Oliver Rhoades<\/a> forcing one more in the 89th.<\/p>\n

Salcedo led all players with three shots and put all three on target. Tobias Polz<\/a> also had three attempts, and 17 Toreros saw the field. Lucca Adams<\/a> went the full 90 minutes in goal and faced just two shots on target all night, turning one away as a 10-man San Diego side kept a ranked home team from generating much of anything in front of its own crowd.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT
The Toreros return home on Saturday evening to host the Denver Pioneers to open up West Coast Conference play. Kickoff at Torero stadium is set for 5 p.m.
