Three Sporting players earn caps as UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying continues

Three Sporting Kansas City players represented their national teams on Tuesday as UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying continued in Europe.

Botond Barath and Hungary earned a massive 1-0 home win over Wales at Groupama Arena in Budapest, receiving a Mate Patkai goal in the 80th minute to vault into first place in Group E.

Barath (pictured above left) started and played the full 90 minutes in central defense, anchoring a resolute backline display that kept Gareth Bale (pictured above right) and Wales off the scoresheet. The 27-year-old earned his sixth career cap for the Magyars, while his Sporting teammate Krisztian Nemeth was an unused substitute.
