On Sunday night, Sporting Kansas City had a magical come from behind victory over MLS expansion side Austin FC. That was just one of the stories playing out that night. The other was the return of the former Captain and hometown hero, Matt Besler.
Taken in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by the then Kansas City Wizards, Besler would go on to play 11 seasons for Kansas City before his time with the team came to an end following the 2020 season. A season when Matt didn’t get to play in front of full stadium, or play much at all for that matter.
