Sporting KC plays Columbus Crew to 2-2 draw in preseason opener

The 72nd pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft belonged to Sporting Kansas City, and with the club looking for help in its midfield, it opted Saint Louis University product Faik Hajderovic.

He provided his first highlight in an exhibition match Wednesday.

Hajderovic scored the game-tying goal in the 88th minute of a 2-2 draw against Columbus in the opener of the Desert Diamond Cup preseason tournament at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Ariz.

Former Sporting KC forward Kei Kamara scored twice for Columbus, with his brace interrupted by a goal from Sporting KC midfielder Soni Mustivar.
