Sporting Kansas City battles the New England Revolution on Tuesday to close out the first leg of the club’s 2017 preseason, presented by Children’s Mercy. The scrimmage will kick off at noon CT at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Arizona, with live updates available via Twitter at @SportingKC.
Manager Peter Vermes’ men are one week removed from last Tuesday’s preseason opener against the San Jose Earthquakes — a narrow 1-0 defeat incurred by Tommy Thompson’s goal in the 90th minute. Thirty players featured for Sporting Kansas City as Vermes deployed three different squads for 30 minutes each.
