Sporting KC defender Kaveh Rad selected to USL Championship Team of the Week

Sporting Kansas City defender Kaveh Rad was named to the USL Championship Team of the Week today after leading Sporting KC II to a resounding 4-1 win over FC Tulsa last Wednesday at Children’s Mercy Park.

Competing on loan from Sporting’s first team, Rad delivered a brilliant performance in central defense as SKC II stormed to their first victory of the season against a Tulsa outfit that had won three of its first four games.

The 19-year-old Rad opened his professional scoring account with a towering header early in the second half, but his impact was felt comprehensively over the course of 90 minutes.
