Sporting Kansas City defeated Minnesota United FC 2-0 on Saturday at Children's Mercy Park, recording their fourth straight shutout victory to finish a perfect month of August.
An integral contributor to Sporting KC's record-breaking streak has been veteran defender Seth Sinovic, who slotted into the lineup on Aug. 4 against the Houston Dynamo and played every minute of the club's four games throughout August.
The ultra-reliable Sinovic turned in another stout display on Saturday to claim MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors for the first time in 2018. Joining him among the best players in Week 26 are goalkeeper Tim Melia and forward Johnny Russell, who were selected to the Team of the Week bench.
