Sporting KC’s Feilhaber makes first U.S. national team appearance in three years

Benny Feilhaber’s long-awaited return to the United States men’s national team saw its most significant moment yet Sunday — an actual on-field appearance.

After a three-year absence, Feilhaber, who plays for Sporting Kansas City, subbed into the U.S. national team’s friendly Sunday against Serbia. The Americans tied Serbia 0-0 in San Diego.

It’s the first time Feilhaber has donned the red, white and blue in a U.S. match since 2014, which came under recently-fired coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Sporting KC veteran Graham Zusi started and played the full 90 minutes in the scoreless draw, though it came in a unique role.
