Sporting Kansas City's dramatic victory over expansion side Austin FC on Sunday was special for a number of reasons.
For starters, fans at Children's Mercy Park were treated to an epic late-game comeback as Sporting struck twice in the final eight minutes through Ilie Sanchez and Gadi Kinda to flip a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win. Kinda's winner ignited an electric celebration and shook the stadium like it hasn't shook since early 2020.
Secondly, Sunday marked the return of three club legends in Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff, assistant Davy Arnaud and defender Matt Besler.
