While Sporting Kansas City were racking up goals at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday, 21-year-old Macissé Diop was doing the same at eMLS Cup 2019 presented by PlayStation.
Diop represented Sporting on Friday and Saturday in the marquee tournament, which took place at PAX East in Boston. The Philadelphia Union's doolsta topped the LA Galaxy's GGGodfather 2-1 on aggregate to claim the title on Saturday evening.
After sealing a sixth-place Western Conference finish in regular season play on Friday, Diop entered Saturday in the Last Chance bracket, which afforded players seeded outside of the top five in their respective conferences an opportunity to earn a place in the final tournament bracket.
