Nigerian striker Willy Agada scored the deciding goal in the 76th minute to give Sporting Kansas City a 2-1 victory Sunday over visiting Chicago in the Leagues Cup.

Greek striker Georgios Koutsias opened the scoring for the Fire in the 22nd minute only for US defender Robert Castellanos of Kansas City to net the equalizer in the 39th minute.

The tournament features MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX teams in a World Cup-style event featuring three-team groups with each advancing two into knockout rounds.

Host New York City FC edged Mexico’s Queretaro 4-3 on penalties after playing to a goalless draw. New York gets two points in the group table to one for Queretaro with FC Cincinnati yet to play.

Sunday’s matches marked the end of the first round of group matches with the second wave starting on Tuesday.

Defending champion Inter Miami, without injured star Lionel Messi, beat Puebla on Saturday in their group opener. Puebla and Tigres UANL will play on Wednesday in Houston, where Miami will face Tigres on Saturday to close their group.

What Kansas State’s Chris Klieman said about Rutgers, Kyle Monangai’s absence for Rate Bowl

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As Chris Klieman bounced around the midwest, going up and down the coaching ladder from a Division III DC to a national champion head coach at the FCS level before becoming Kansas State’s head coach, the Rutgers football program occasionally came onto his radar.

And in that span, he’s come to associate the Scarlet Knights — “a great program” — with a single person.

How to Watch Chiefs vs. Steelers: NFL Week 17 TV, Odds, Preview

For the first time since the 2022 AFC playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs will square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kansas City has a three-game winning streak over Pittsburgh, which includes the aforementioned contest in the Wild Card round of the postseason. This year, both teams have already clinched playoff berths but still have something to play for. The Chiefs, specifically, can get the best Christmas present of all by winning and locking up the one-seed and a first-round bye. A win makes them unreachable to the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers, on the other hand, are looking to maintain their division lead. They hold a conference tiebreaker over the surging Baltimore Ravens but are far from certain to keep that.

Here’s everything you need to know and how you can follow along with the Chiefs as they square off against the Steelers on Wednesday.

Game: Chiefs vs. Steelers

Location: Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Date and Time: Wednesday, December 25 at 12:00 p.m. CT

TV Channel: Netflix or KCTV local
