Pardon the brutal pun, but this guy's MLS debut was some kinda wonderful.
Israeli newcomer Gadi Kinda helped Sporting Kansas City to an eye-opening 3-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday at BC Place, hammering home an MLS Goal of the Week nominee and commanding the midfield in a comprehensive first appearance for Sporting.
In addition to landing himself on the Goal of the Week ballot, Kinda was further recognized by MLSsoccer.com with a spot on the Team of the Week presented by Audi. The diminutive 25-year-old was one of two MLS debutants on the Starting XI alongside the San Jose Earthquakes' Oswaldo Alanis.
