The offseason in Major League Soccer is never really that long, but these two months without soccer feel like an eternity to Sporting Kansas City fans eager to see their team back in action. While no games will be televised or streamed online quite yet, action got back underway on a perfect Arizona day at the Phoenix Rising Soccer Complex in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Sporting KC took on Sporting AZ, a fourth-division team from the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL). The game was broken into three 30-minute segments where the full 11 players on the field were subbed off after each segment.
