MATCH PREVIEW The Swope Park Rangers (3-10-6, 15 points) will kick off the month of August on Saturday night, hosting fifth-place Nashville SC (10-5-5, 35 points) in a USL Championship Eastern Conference clash at worldclass Children’s Mercy Park. The sides previously met on May 11 at First Tennessee Park as Nashville earned a decisive 5-1 victory behind a Daniel Rios brace and additional strikes from Alan Winn, Kharlton Belmar and Cameron Lancaster. Rangers leading scorer and Nashville native Felipe Hernandez found the back of the net in the second half, but the Sporting KC Academy product’s tally wasn’t nearly enough for SPR to emerge with a result. Led by second-year head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Rangers experienced a pair of dissimilar results in their previous two run-outs. Hernandez, two-goal Sporting KC loanee Kelyn Rowe and 16-year-old Tyler Freeman struck in a thrilling 4-3 home win over Hartford Athletic on July 17, but SPR crashed back down to earth with a 4-0 defeat at Ottawa Fury on July 20. The club’s home match with Charleston Battery last Saturday, July 27, was postponed to a later date to be determined after a vehicle transporting Charleston players to Children’s Mercy Park was involved in an accident. Fortunately no players were hurt.
