Sporting Kansas City defender Graham Zusi made his record-breaking 349th competitive appearance for the club in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Austin FC at Children’s Mercy Park.
Unfortunately for the veteran right back, it came at a price: Zusi was forced to exit the game near halftime with a thigh injury. The setback wasn’t serious, however—Zusi is expected to make a quick recovery—and it certainly paled in comparison to a major scare that took place earlier on Saturday afternoon.
Shortly before leaving his house for Children’s Mercy Park, Zusi was among the millions of people worldwide who saw heralded Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapse on the field during a UEFA Euro 2020 match against Finland.
