Sporting Kansas City II (0-3-2, 2 points) concluded a two-game road swing on Saturday with a 2-0 defeat to Indy Eleven (2-1-0, 6 points) at Michael A. Caroll Stadium. After a scoreless first half, Indy struck twice in 12 minutes through Jordan Hamilton and Manuel Arteaga to avenge a late-season home loss to SKC II last September.
With his team less than 72 hours removed from a 1-1 road draw at LA Galaxy II, head coach Paulo Nagamura made two changes to Sporting Kansas City II's starting XI. Both swaps took place in midfield as Sporting KC Academy products Jayvin Van Deventer and Jahon Rad replaced Jake Davis and Bailey Sparks, respectively.
