Sporting Kansas City (1-1-1, 4 points) concluded a breathless stretch of six matches in 18 days with a gripping 1-1 road draw against the Colorado Rapids (0-1-2, 2 points) on Sunday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, receiving an 88th-minute free kick from Johnny Russell to rescue a point on the cusp of FIFA's international break.
Russell is one of five Sporting players set to represent his country in the coming days as international competitions take center stage across the globe. Fresh off Sunday's game-saving performance, the 28-year-old forward has joined the Scotland Men’s National Team for the start of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying.
