Over the course of the still-early 2020 MLS regular season, the lion’s share of praise for Sporting Kansas City has been showered on its free-scoring offense.
Spearheaded by the likes of Alan Pulido, Khiry Shelton, Johnny Russell and Gerso Fernandes, Sporting ranks second in MLS with 13 goals scored—the most through the first five games of a regular season in club history. Pulido, Shelton and fellow newcomer Gadi Kinda have all garnered headlines, either in early March before the COVID-19 pandemic or more recently at the MLS is Back Tournament in Walt Disney World.
