Winger Enoch Mushagalusa scored a brace as Sporting Kansas City II (1-3-4, 7 points) earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw on the road at Atlanta United 2 (3-2-3, 12 points) on Wednesday night. Mushagalusa twice gave Sporting II the lead with his first goals of the season, only for the team to be pegged back twice with all four goals coming in a 14-minute period in the second half.
Head coach Paulo Nagamura made seven changes to the team that dispatched FC Tulsa 4-1 a week ago, with Academy goalkeeper Gavin Krenecki stepping in between the sticks, while defenders Kayden Pierre and Aljaz Dzankic, midfielders Christian Duke and Jake Davis and forwards Rojay Smith and Ropapa Mensah also came into the squad.
