MATCH PREVIEW Sporting Kansas City II (3-7-5, 14 points) will close the month of July just as they started it, hosting USL Championship title contenders Louisville City FC (83-3, 27 points) at Children’s Mercy Park. The midweek matchup will kick off at 7 p.m. CT and stream live on ESPN Plus as a pair of Central Division foes lock horns for the sixth time in two seasons. Under the guidance of fourth-year head coach and former Sporting Kansas City midfielder Paulo Nagamura, Sporting KC II secured a second straight road shutout on Saturday in a hard-fought battle against rivals OKC Energy FC. Goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh has collected clean sheets in consecutive appearances, while the likes of Danny Barbir, Matt Constant, Isaiah LeFlore and Kayden Pierre have contributed valuably to an everimproving defense.

SKC II INJURY REPORT

Louisville were never truly threatened, however, and rode a Kyle Greig brace and strikes from Brian Ownby and Alexis Souahy to claim the points.
