Sporting KCSix saves in win
Cleveland registered six saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Cleveland repelled six of seven Los Angeles shots on goal Wednesday and made one clearance to help lift Kansas City to a 3-1 home victory. The veteran keeper's three appearances (three starts) mark his most MLS appearances since he made seven starting appearances for Seattle during the 2022 campaign. If Cleveland remains the preferred option for Kansas City, look for his name on the team sheet Saturday when Kansas City travel to Texas for a showdown with Austin.
Concedes six
Cleveland recorded two saves and allowed six goals in Saturday's 6-0 loss to Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Cleveland completed 18 passes and conceded six goals. He started ahead of John Pulskamp for the second consecutive game but may or may not start against Los Angeles Galaxy midweek due to a poor performance.
Makes season debut
Cleveland recorded seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Cleveland made his 2026 debut Saturday, making seven saves while allowing just a goal to Seattle on Saturday. He got the start over both Jack Kortkamp and John Pulskamp as the keeper looks to work his way up the depth chart for Kansas City.
On squad sheet
Cleveland was an option on the bench during the 5-0 loss to Chicago on Saturday.
Analysis: Cleveland was back and an option after missing time with an ankle. It looks like the keeper will remain a second or third string keeper for Kansas City, having not made an MLS appearance since 2023.
