Hot off a resounding 4-1 home win over FC Tulsa, Sporting Kansas City II (1-3-3, 6 points) will play for their second straight victory on Wednesday when they visit Central Division counterparts Atlanta United 2 (3-2-2, 11 points) at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw, Georgia. The USL Championship showdown will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT and stream live on ESPN Plus.
Under the guidance of fourth-year head coach and former Sporting Kansas City midfielder Paulo Nagamura, Sporting KC II bounced emphatically into the win column last Wednesday by defeating FC Tulsa on home turf. MLS loanees and Sporting KC Academy products Cam Duke, Grayson Barber and Kaveh Rad all opened their professional scoring accounts, as did rookie Rojay Smith, whose long-range blast in the 73rd minute was one of SportsCenter’s top 10 plays of the night.
