After seeing their postseason hopes dissipate in a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat at rivals Saint Louis FC on Saturday, Sporting Kansas City II (4-8-1, 13 points) will embrace the role of spoiler beginning Tuesday when they visit Group D playoff hopefuls Austin Bold FC (3-3-6, 15 points) in a fascinating USL Championship clash at Bold Stadium in Austin. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. CT with a live stream on ESPN Plus and additional in-game updates on Twitter via @SportingKCII.
Guided by third-year head coach and former Sporting Kansas City great Paulo Nagamura, Sporting KC II were eliminated from postseason contention over the weekend after conceding a last-gasp goal versus their cross-state rivals.
