Sporting Kansas City punched its ticket to the MLS is Back Tournament Knockout Stage on Wednesday morning with a 2-0 win over rivals Real Salt Lake at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Walt Disney World.
Less than two hours after logging 84 minutes in the earliest competitive match in Sporting history—the contest kicked off at 9 a.m. local time and 8 a.m. in Kansas City—forward Khiry Shelton joined 610 Sports Radio hosts Cody Tapp and Alex Gold to recap the pivotal victory.
“I haven’t played this early since I was a young boy,” Shelton said.
