Sporting Kansas City Homegrown forward Tyler Freeman (No. 8 above, bottom left) helped the United States U-16 Boys’ National Team to a 2-0 victory over the U.S. U-17 Men’s National Team on Saturday in the second round of the 2019 Nike International Friendlies at the Premier Sports Campus in Bradenton, Florida.
Freeman came off the bench in the 76th minute with the U-16s leading 1-0 and recorded a secondary assist on Moses Nyeman’s 89th-minute strike that sealed the win. On the opposite side of the field, Sporting KC Academy standout Tucker Lepley earned his second straight start for the U-17s and played the full 90 minutes in central midfield.
