The Swope Park Rangers moved into first place in the USL's Western Conference on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.
And they did so with five Sporting KC Academy products on the field logging professional minutes as teenagers.
The youngest of the group, 15-year-old midfielder Gianluca Busio, contributed the game-winning assist just seven minutes into his pro debut.
Seventeen-year-old Jaylin Lindsey and 19-year-old Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal were also introduced in the starting lineup under the bright lights at Children's Mercy Park.
Lindsey went the full 90 minutes at right back as the Rangers recorded their first clean sheet of the season.
