The Sporting Kansas City Academy U-17s and U-15s ended 2019-20 Generation adidas Cup Qualifying with three matches apiece this weekend at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
After playing their first three qualifying matches last fall at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, the U-17s and U-15s took the field for another series of games against fellow MLS academies from across the country.
The Sporting KC U-17s enjoyed a strong start on Friday, defeating Minnesota United FC by 3-0 scoreline with a brace from Rokus Pukstas and an Osvaldo Cisneros strike. Subsequent losses to Chicago Fire FC and Seattle Sounders FC resulted in a fifth-place finish for Sporting in Group B.
