Sporting Kansas City continued their road trip with a stop in the smoky Rocky Mountains (Espinoza: “you could feel the smoke”) against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night. The team managed to pull off a road point with a unique and heavily rotated lineup, a brand new formation, at altitude in a low air quality game. Let’s get to the highlights.
That Formation!
It’s up for debate what formation Sporting KC were actually in, but I’m going to call it a 5-3-2. A backline of Jaylin Lindsey, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, Andreu Fontas, Roberto Puncec and Amadou Dia (right to left).
