MATCH PREVIEW Sporting Kansas City II (1-4-4, 7 points) will continue their busy stretch of four matches in 11 days when they host Central Division rivals Indy Eleven (3-4-1, 10 points) on Sunday in a 4 p.m. CT showdown at Children’s Mercy Park. The USL Championship contest will stream live on ESPN Plus as the familiar foes meet for the second time this season. Second-half substitute Tyler Freeman struck two late goals on Wednesday night as Sporting KC II saw their three-game unbeaten run snapped in a 4-3 thriller against FC Tulsa at ONEOK Field. Head coach Paulo Nagamura’s men took an early lead through Rojay Smith before Tulsa bagged four unanswered goals to build what was ultimately an unassailable lead. Freeman led a spirited fightback for the visitors, striking the 87th minute and unleashing a brilliant free kick deep into second-half stoppage time, but Tulsa held on for the victory amid scorching temperatures.
