Nuno Andre Coelho scored in the 73rd minute and goalkeeper Tim Melia came up with saves on three dangerous chances to help Sporting Kansas City beat the Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Sunday in the opener for both teams. Goalkeeper Stefan Frei dove and got a hand on the shot at the left post, but it rolled off him and into the net. Melia stopped consecutive chances in the 15th minute - first a free kick by Clint Dempsey from 26 yards away, then a header by Chad Marshall from inside the 6-yard box.
