A historic moment took place in the 87th minute of Sunday's scoreless draw between Sporting Kansas City and Columbus Crew SC at Children's Mercy Park.
Midfielder Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal, a Sporting KC Academy product who had been selected to Manager Peter Vermes' matchday 18 for the first time, replaced Roger Espinoza to make his Sporting KC and MLS debut. In doing so, the 19-year-old Kuzain became the eighth-youngest Sporting KC player to feature in a regular season match and the second-youngest Homegrown Player to debut for the side.
Kuzain, who signed for Sporting KC as the club's ninth Homegrown Player on April 13, entered the action to a standing ovation and completed eight of his nine passes as Vermes' men collected their sixth shutout in nine games dating back to March 31.
