Kelvin Yeboah scored his fifth goal in as many games, Bongokuhle Hlongwane added a in stoppage time and Minnesota United beat Sporting Kansas City 2-0 Saturday night.
Kansas City (8-16-7) was eliminated from playoff contention.
Yeboah ran onto a though ball played by Robin Lod and lofted a shot from the left-center of the area inside the back post to open the scoring in the 65th minute.

Hlongwane gave Minnesota (12-12-5) a 2-0 lead in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Lod tapped a pass to Hlongwane, who slipped behind the defense and beat goalkeeper Tim Melia one-on-one for his 11th goal of the season and his fourth in the last four games.
Dayne St. Claire had four saves for Minnesota.
Kansas City had 66% possession and outshot Minnesota 19-7, 4-3 on target.
