Martinez&#8217;s free kick was placed inside the 6-yard box and Palmer-Brown knocked it in with his right leg.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Medranda scored for Sporting KC in the 33rd minute. Saad Abdul-Salaam dribbled along the right side of the 18-yard box and found Medranda trailing the play for a left-footed finish from distance.<\/p>\n<p>Seth Sinovic had an open shot pushed away by Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>The game was pushed back from Aug. 26 due to Hurricane Harvey.
