Four Sporting Kansas City players were named to the Concacaf Champions League Team of the Week today, less than 24 hours after helping the team to a dominant 3-0 quarterfinal victory over Independiente at Children's Mercy Park.
Midfielder Roger Espinoza and defender Graham Zusi joined forwards Gerso Fernandes and Krisztian Nemeth among Concacaf's best performers in the second-leg stage of the quarterfinals.
Sporting has advanced to the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals for the first time in club history, claiming a 4-2 aggregate victory over the Panamanian outfit after dropping the first leg 2-1 last week on the road.
