Sporting Kansas City forward Krisztian Nemeth put his former club to the sword on Saturday, scoring twice in a 4-4 barnburner against the New England Revolution at Children's Mercy Park. MLSsoccer.com took notice, placing the 30-year-old Hungarian on the MLS Team of the Week bench for Week 9.
Nemeth bagged a first-half equalizer and struck again in the 83rd minute, completing Sporting's dramatic comeback with a snap header past Revolution goalkeeper Cody Cropper. The in-form striker now has a team-best 10 goals this season in all competitions and six in MLS, tied with LAFC's Diego Rossi for third-most in the league.
