Berg Johnsen on the dummy from Dejan: "Deki, he has split vision letting the ball go to me."
"It was a good strike, it was really nice seeing it go in the corner." #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Berg Johnsen: "It was the perfect debut."
"But it's not about me, it's about the team." #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Dejan: "Unfortunately for them [LA Galaxy fans], I'm gonna keep scoring."
Dejan said he has to give 120% against the Galaxy but out of respect for the fans he didn't celebrate his goal. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Wicky confirmed Shapi was a LWB in defense and in the attack he was designed to get more inside to open up the wing for Jayden Reid.
Wicky was very complimentary of Shapi's execution of the plan. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Wicky: "The win was also because the team was so much together."
He talked about how they suffer together and lift each other up. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Wicky: "In in the important moments, John [Pulskamp] was there for us." #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Wicky on Berg Johnsen's debut: "What Lasse's done tonight, you cannot really give enough respect to what he's done."
Just five or six days with us. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Live standings and SKC are just one point out of the playoffs and only team in the West has yet to win... #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Lasse Berg Johnsen is the first to score on his debut since Pulido and Kinda did it during the 2020 season. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Dejan with the heart hands for the LA fans after he scored on them. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
What a game by the squad! What a night to walk away with our first win. Debut for Berg Johsen, scores the game winner. Impressive showing! First win under the leadership of Wicky. Something 'Wicky' this way comes... #LAvSKC

After review, no handball on Dejan.
His arm is tucked AND the distance from the kick to the arm is very short. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Multiple big saves from Pulskamp (one before this sequence) but the LA Galaxy ultimately score. 2-1 KC #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Cerrillo makes no effort to avoid this collision. Yellow given but it looks pretty dirty. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Beautiful dummy from Dejan to give Afrifa the official assist. Berg Johnsen scores as a d-mid! #SportingKC #LAvSKC
The Galaxy might be a bad team... #LAvSKC
Berg Johnsen scores on his debut!! 2-0!!!
#SportingKC #LAvSKC
BERG JOHNSEN! MLS DEBUT! He has been incredible tonight, ya love to see it! 2-0! #LAvSKC
Afrifa on for Harris.
Harris was kind of invisible tonight. KC really didn't do much of sending balls over the top to him like they have in prior weeks. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Corner taken away from SKC for a bad offside call... #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Klauss out here diving. Corner given. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Yamane steps on Reid's ankle, but no foul given.
In fact, SKC were down a man for a minute after he got treatment. #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Seven straight games with goals at Dignity Health Park for Dejan!
And what a ball from Manu! #SportingKC #LAvSKC
Dejan does it again! 1-0 SKC! #SportingKC #LAvSKC
