Sporting Kansas City played their second scrimmage of the 2017 MLS preseason as a part of the Desert Friendlies. Today’s match-up was against the New England Revolution. The Revs have been on quite a tear in preseason so far having gone undefeated in three games (2-0-1). Sporting KC is off to an 0-1 start after a late loss to the San Jose Earthquakes.
Sporting and the Revs went for entirely different approaches as far as lineups. Sporting were heavy on backups while the Revs went with nearly all of their likely opening day starters.
