It’s the storyline you’ll hear all week (and every time he comes home). Former Sporting Kansas City draft pick and captain, Matt Besler, is returning to KC, but with another team. He is now a linchpin in the defense of expansion side Austin FC, who are off to a better start to 2021 than Besler’s former team.
Kansas City enter the Mother’s Day matchup with diminishing results over the last couple weeks. A win, then a draw, then a loss. But this is a return to a home field that has been quite the advantage historically. With a national television audience watching, Sporting KC will look to get things headed in the right direction.
