The Revolution Starters Hand a Beating to the Sporting KC Backups

For the third game in the Desert Diamond Cup for Sporting Kansas City they would start off with a backup heavy lineup and the Revs mirrored that approach.

#SportingKC Starting XI: Dykstra, SAS, Didic, Ellis, Pasher, Mustivar, Joya, Medranda, Porter, Blessing, Saad. They will probably go 75 min.

The game got off to about as bad of a start as is humanly possible. A long shot (or maybe it was a cross) got sent in by the New England Revolution and new backup goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra spilled it right to Daigo Kobayashi who easily put the Revs up one to zero.
