Sporting Kansas City scored three goals in a 14-minute span in the second half after a golazo of a free kick by Gianluca Busio ignited a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Houston Dynamo FC in front of a sell-out crowd at Children's Mercy Park Saturday night.

In the 51st minute, Busio smashed home a superb free kick from 28 yards out past a stranded Marko Maric, voiding out an early goal by Matias Vera, who scored his first MLS goal against the run of play after Sporting was punished for trying to build from the back.

Fafa Picault picked Luis Martins pocket down by the corner flag and served a ball into the box which  Maxi Urruti quickly laid off to a cutting Vera, who beat Tim Melia from 16 yards out with a left-footed shot. The Busio goal energized an already tense atmosphere, which was amplified by a pair of goals four minutes apart after the hour mark. It all started with a penalty kick from Alan Pulido, who sent Maric the wrong way after Boniek Garcia tripped him in the box.

Busio almost had a free kick brace, but was denied by a diving stop by Maric in the 83rd minute. Six minutes later, Melia was just as up to the task though, swatting away a Tim Parker set piece header.

Urruti would also go on to score his fourth goal of the season on a counter deep in second half stoppage time for the Dynamo, but it was a minor symbolic goal as SKC would handily win their fourth game after falling behind 1-0 this season.
