On the same day their senior teams squared off in an MLS match at Children’s Mercy Park, the Sporting Kansas City and New England Revolution academies locked horns in a tripleheader at sunny Swope Soccer Village.
Sporting Kansas City emerged with a clean sweep of the tripleheader, as the U-19s and U-17s prevailed 2-0 and the U-15s won 2-1. The friendly matches give Sporting momentum ahead of their final five regular season matches in the Development Academy’s Central Conference, slated to run from May 3 to June 2.
The U-19s surged ahead when Jahon Rad picked out the corner with an excellent curling strike in the 37th minute.
