Andre Luiz had a goal and an assist and Calvin Harris also scored in the first half as Sporting Kansas City produced a surprising 2-0 victory over the host Houston Dynamo on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

MLS-worst Kansas City (6-17-3, 21 points) defeated a team that has been competing for the top spot in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

Stefan Cleveland made four saves for the shutout, marking the team\u2019s first clean sheet of the season. Kansas City has won two of four matches this month.<\/p>\n

Luiz has played in five matches for SKC, producing four goals and one assist. Harris has made goal contributions in back-to-back matches for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Houston (13-9-5, 44 points) was saddled with its second frustrating home result in a row. A week earlier, the Dynamo surrendered a stoppage-time goal in a 2-2 draw with Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Already trailing 2-0, Houston\u2019s Hector Herrera drew a red card in first-half stoppage time, forcing the Dynamo to play a man down for the rest of the match. Herrera was cited for violent conduct.<\/p>\n

Luiz\u2019s goal came from the box off an assist from Stephen Afrifa in the 27th minute.<\/p>\n

The gap grew to 2-0 on Harris\u2019 goal in the 45th minute on a play set up by Luiz\u2019s work with the ball for an assist.<\/p>\n
