Like many 16-year-olds, Gianluca Busio is currently enrolled in a drivers’ education class. And on Wednesday, he was given the keys to take his very first drive.
No, not the sort of drive that requires a motor vehicle and paved streets. This sort of drive was something entirely different — something that the vast majority of 16-year-olds can only dream of.
On Wednesday, at the ripe age of 16 years and nine days, Busio became the youngest Sporting Kansas City player to feature in a competitive match. And to be perfectly clear, this was no small cameo from off the bench in second-half stoppage time.
