Sporting Kansas City II (1-5-4, 7 points) took a narrow 2-1 loss to Indy Eleven (4-4-1, 13 points) on a scorching Sunday afternoon at sunny Children’s Mercy Park. Enoch Mushagalusa bagged his third goal in as many games for the hosts, but Indy emerged victorious behind strikes in either half from Nicky Law and Gordon Wild.
Navigating a busy stretch of four matches in 11 days, Sporting Kansas City II deployed a new-look lineup that featured four changed from Wednesday’s pulsating 4-3 loss at FC Tulsa. Sporting KC homegrown goalkeeper John Pulskamp stepped between the posts, center back Matt Constant joined the back line, Jahon Rad filled the defensive midfield position and homegrown attacker Tyler Freeman was deployed as a striker.
