Sporting Kansas City struck twice in each half to secure a 4-0 preseason win over fellow MLS side FC Cincinnati on Saturday at Grande Sports World in Casa Grande, Arizona.
Daniel Salloi, Roger Espinoza, Johnny Russell and Sporting KC II forward Wilson Harris stamped their names onto the scoresheet as Manager Peter Vermes’ side collected its second straight four-goal victory to open the 2020 preseason, presented by Children’s Mercy.
A lively start saw Sporting nearly take the lead after four minutes when Khiry Shelton did wonderfully to redirect Gadi Kinda’s diagonal ball back across the face of goal, but Erik Hurtado’s first-time effort under duress fizzed marginally over the crossbar.
