A last-minute Claudio Bieler strike has helped Sporting Kansas City defeat DC United and go second in the MLS Eastern Conference.

The hosts dominated the game and had plenty of chances to score at Sporting Park, but struggled to put the ball in the back of the net.

CJ Sarpong, Chance Myers and Benny Feilhaber were all guilty of missing great opportunities to blot the DC scoresheet.

Each player failed to even test Bill Hamid between the sticks.

The visitors' best chance fell to Lionard Pajoy just before the break, but he skewed his effort wide of the mark.

As time was running out, Soony Saad found Bieler inside the area and he found the bottom corner to claim the points.
