If Sporting Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes was planning on rotating his squad Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Union after a Thursday Champions League match, one change has already been made for him.
Veteran midfielder Roger Espinoza was shown a second yellow card in the 84th minute on the road at Los Angeles FC on Sunday night in a game LAFC was able to win 2-1 on a stoppage time winner by Adama Diomande. It was the seventh card shown against Kansas City in the game, a club record.
