Johnny Russell, Graham Zusi and Tyler Freeman scored tonight as Sporting Kansas City scrimmaged Phoenix Rising FC in Scottsdale, Arizona. Phoenix scored twice on Sporting KC in the scrimmage which were the first two goals let in during the preseason. The format was either two 75 minute games or one 150 minute game with two different squads, the teams themselves didn’t seem to agree on Twitter.
Russell started the scoring when SKC’s pressure created a turnover. After the turnover the ball was quickly passed to the Scottish winger, he slotted it low past former Swope Park Ranger’s keep Zac Lubin in the 56th minute of the first 75 minute half.
