Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi was named to the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week bench today after firing his side to a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls in an exciting 2021 season opener at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night.
Salloi and Sporting turned the game on its head near the hour mark, transforming a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead with goals in back-to-back minutes. Just over 60 seconds after Gadi Kinda drew Sporting level from the penalty spot, Salloi latched onto Khiry Shelton's low cross to bag what would stand as the match-winner.
