Felipe Hernandez notched his sixth goal of the season to get Swope Park Rangers a draw against the Charleston Battery.
Paulo Nagamura used three Sporting Kansas City players for the trip to Charleston: Adrian Zendejas, Wan Kuzain, and Graham Smith (which likely means that this is a rare occasion because Besler, Fontas, and Barath are all fit for Sporting’s match on Sunday). This was SPR’s fifteenth different starting XI this season.
The game was delayed 75 minutes due to lightning, and it was clear that the pitch was not in its greatest condition.
